Diaspora

This is one quite amazing book. Falling somewhere between the lines of a Hard-speculative-SciFi it somehow resembles Jacek Dukaj's ‘Perfect Imperfection'. The story starts in 30th century earth where intelligent life is divided between flesh humans, post-singularity humans and self-aware artificial intelligence. The author took some ideas from astrophysics about possible interstellar events and created whole new physics around that, starting with wormholes and finishing with infinite-dimensions connected universes. The chapters describing how these physics work are simply mind-bending and surprisingly ‘believable' (to an extent where such wild theories can possibly be). I may not call it an exciting or easy read, but i was really delighted by the amount of ideas and how it changes the way we may look at things. The book is definitely an acquired taste kind of experiences, but for me personally a great one.
