Re: WAY OFF TOPIC: recommendations for great science fiction written in the last 10 years?



Hi Rick,

This might be a bit late, but I would heartily recommend Greg Egan
I've read
"Permutation City"
"Quarantine"
and a collection of short stories called "Axiomatic"

They are all very intellectual, in the best Science Fiction tradition, and 
they definitely go places where most previous Science Fiction hasn't gone.
They are all very enjoyable as stories as well.
