7 9 y separately published work icon Diaspora Greg Egan , London : Millennium , 1997 Z55515 1997 single work novel science fiction 'Set in the thirtieth century, Egan's novel has sentient software on centre stage, with humans as bit players. Egan has always placed ideas above characterisation, and readers of this novel almost need a degree in physics and information technology to follow it. Nonetheless, perseverance will be rewarded, as Egan explores spatial dimensions while trying to define what is humanity, especially when humanity is not involved' (Colin Steele, SF Commentary No 77, p.54).

'It's late in the 21st century and bioengineering is now so common that people are able to modify their minds in any way they wish. It is an era which has been shaped by information systems so vast that security, in any form, is easily breached. Now, you can be whatever you want to be, and do whatever you want to do. On Earth anyway. One night, thirty three years ago, the stars went out. 'The Bubble' - a perfect sphere centred on the sun - appeared in the sky, isolating the solar system from the rest of the universe. For thirty-three years, humanity has lived with the religious cults and terrorism which spawned in the wake of the darkness. We are now alone. Humanity has been cut off: quarantined.'
