Jamie's Reviews > Diaspora

A brilliant, yet excruciatingly detailed, look at the future of humanity and transhumanism. Egan's rich vision of the fragmented legacies of humanity on a mission to explore the galaxy and way beyond is unbelievably bold and visionary, yet is frequently bogged down with excruciating scientific detail that often seems to supersede actual storytelling. This has got to be the hardest of the hard science fiction I have come across. Not easy reading. My mind was equally numbed and blown. No doubt it will leave a lasting impression.
