A castastrophic astronomical event means living on Earth is a no go. As in a black hole zapped my planet.

Thus created is the Diaspora, and humanity separates into people that live in different modes. In virtualities, as robots, or points on between.

The main thrust here is these extreme posthumans trying to work out what is still important. For example, do we make children - how do we make them, what do we make them? Things like that.

As for most of Egan' books I have read this is a tour de force elaboration on post singularity quantum computing and AI. ( )

Mind-boggling post-humanism extra-universe-scale singularitarian hard science fiction ( )

I didn't like his earlier book Distress, decided to give him another shot. Forty pages in and I'm done. This is not a story, it's a paean to scientism. I know that life after the Singularity is going to be very strange, but there's gotta be a better way to describe life on the other side. This is barely fiction. No more Egan for me.

The cover art is unfortunate - from a distance (or reduced in size, as here) it looks like a skull with a clown nose. ( )

Описание книги

Amazon.com (ISBN 0061057983, Mass Market Paperback)

In the 30th century, few humans remain on Earth. Most have downloaded themselves into robot bodies or solar-system-spanning virtual realities, escaping death--or so they believe, until the collision of nearby neutron stars threatens life in every form.

Diaspora, written by Hugo Award and John W. Campbell Memorial Award winner Greg Egan, transcends millennia and universes in the tradition of Poul Anderson's Tau Zero, Bruce Sterling's Schismatrix Plus, Camille Flammarion's Omega, and Olaf Stapledon's Last and First Men. Diaspora is packed with mind-bending ideas extrapolated from cutting-edge cosmology, physics, and consciousness theory to create an astonishing hard-SF novel inhabited by very strange yet always believable characters. Diaspora is why people read SF. --Cynthia Ward
