Comment Comment by surprisetalk My book review from last September:> Reads like a “consciousness and computers are cool” story written by an engineer. A few incredible ideas padded by weak storytelling and philosophical exposition. Probably would’ve been better as a short story.[0] https://taylor.town/books#permutation-cityIf you like this book, I recommend Accelerando, Piranesi, Dick's Ubik, and Ted Chiang's collections. parent surprisetalk 2 years ago
