Etat : Good. Egan is determined to make sense of everything - to understand the whole world as an intelligible, rational, material (and finally manipulable) realm - even if it means abandoning comfortable and comforting illusionsThis is fundamental to the whole project of SF and it's why Egan's Best - and his Rest - is worth any number of looks--Locus What happens if your digital self becomes more powerful than your physical self? A life in Permutation City is unlike any otherYou have Eternal Life, the ability to live indefinitelyImmortality is a genuine thing, just not the kind you'd expectImmortality is a real thing, just not the kind you'd expectImmortality is a real thing, just not the kind you'd expectImmortality is a real thing, just not the kind you'd expectYou've been digitized, scanned, and downloaded into a virtual reality program.A Copy of a CopyFor Paul Durham, he keeps making Copies of himself, but the problem is that his Copies keep changing their minds and shutting down.You also have Maria Deluca, who is an Autoverse junkie. She spends every waking minute with the Autoverse, a cellular automaton that follows the mathematical principles of physics.Maria accepts Paul's offer to create and drop a seed into the Autoverse that will allow her to pursue her fixation. There is, however, one catch: you will no longer be able to terminate, bail out, or remove yourself. You will never be your normal flesh-and-blood life again. Is this really what we want? Permutation City, first published in 1994, is a world of wonder from Greg Egan's amazing mind that makes you wonder if you are you, or if the Copy of you is the actual you. With our Night Shade and Talos imprints, Skyhorse Publishing is happy to offer a diverse range of novels for readers interested in science fiction (space opera, time travel, hard SF, alien invasion, near-future dystopia), fantasy (grimdark, sword and sorcery, modern urban fantasy, steampunk, alternative history), horror (zombies, vampires, and the occult and supernatural), and much more.
