Books of future shock[]

Another patented Greg Egan surprise-a-thon. On the first page of this book, we find out that the stars vanished from the sky on the night the Solar System was enclosed in an impenetrable bubble. But that doesn't even begin to convey what awaits you in this book.

There's always one moment in a Greg Egan novel when you understand, and there's just nothing that compares to that feeling - except, of course, for the thrill of scientific discovery. We can't all win a Nobel Prize, but we can all read Greg Egan, and we probably should.
