Proste Egan, prehrsel napadu. Uz sem kdysi cetl, ted sem si dal opacko, kdyz sem bral z antikvaritu do domaci knihovnicky.

Povidky nekdy konci "bez konce", na coz sem u nej zvyklej. Jsou tam samo horsi i lepsi kousky, celkove ty 4 hvezdy slusi.

Review of 'Luminous' on 'Storygraph'

Another of Egan's phenomenal collection of short philosophy fiction in the guise of science fiction. Several explorations of the nature of consciousness from viewpoints such as machine/brain uploads and interfaces and brain chemistry; the nature of space-time and personal identity mixed together as copies of people fall into a black hole or not and many more.
I think his short story collections are better than the full-length novels as they start you thinking without the slight unravelling when the premise is pushed past its limits.
