The genesis of a mind bootstrapped from mere software described in this book is incredible. I've never read such an impressive stream of consciousness before.

Thanks for sharing
fuck, this looks good. but approachable to a non-physicist ?
it's so intense, the fact that it's even remotely approachable by brains makes my head spin.
read chapter 1
Yes this is my usual response to Greg Egan 🔥
I went through the same feelings reading Thursday Next.
How some minds can be so creative and complicated? Moreover, how people can grasp such twists? Where are those people? Why aren't they around me?😅
It's my favourite of his maybe tied with permutation city. But not actually because of orphanogenesis. The story as a whole has such an incredible scope.
Just got Dichronauts by Greg Egan, looking forward to reading it.
You're actually the reason I've started reading Greg Egan. You've recommended permutation city and that's where it started. Incredible book.
1700 sats on kindle, okay, bought it
