yes, one of the rare entries in the Autism Kino subcategory

as with all Egan books, be sure to visit his website about it after you've finished: https://www.gregegan.net/PERMUTATION/Permutation.html

Odd, I just finished Diaspora. Don't think I've seen an Egan thread on /lit/ before.
Diaspora had tons of neat ideas, but the story kind of falls apart in the last third. It definitely felt like there could have been a better version of the novel if he spent some more time dialing in the plot. Still fun and worth the read, though. Definitely not at the level of a lot of sci fi where the book is entirely carried by the ideas and the actual writing is complete garbage.
Is permutation city better executed? Will probably read it sometime.
