What might a society of uploaded minds look like? We do not know, but I suspect that it would be so alien as to be incomprehensible to static fleshers such as us. Thus, it might be an insurmountable task to write a novel that such beings will find to resemble their own world hundreds of years from now. However, I think Diaspora provides a near-perfect balance between plausibility and readability.
A thrilling story of existential threat, a mind-bending exploration of speculative physics, and an awe-inspiring cosmic adventure. Highly recommended for those who are not afraid of technical language and challenging concepts.
