Best of Greg Egan
Greg Egan is arguably Australia's greatest living science fiction writer. All these ideas and more find their way into this generous and illuminating collection, the clear product of a man who is both a master storyteller and a rigorous, exploratory thinker. In a career spanning more than thirty years, he has produced a steady stream of novels and stories that address a wide range of scientific and philosophical concerns: artificial intelligence, higher mathematics, science vs religion, the nature of consciousness, and the impact of technology on the human personality.
This book really does represent the best of Greg Egan, and it therefore takes its place among the best of contemporary SF. The Best of Greg Egan contains twenty stories and novellas arranged in chronological order, and each of them is a brilliantly conceived, painstakingly developed gem, including the Hugo Award-winning novella "Oceanic", a powerful account of a boy whose deeply held religious beliefs are undermined by what he comes to learn about the laws of the physical world. Startling, intelligent and always hugely entertaining, it provides an ideal introduction to one of the most accomplished and original writers working today.
This is an important and provocative collection, and it deserves a place on the serious science fiction reader's permanent shelf.
