7 9 y separately published work icon Diaspora Greg Egan , ( trans. Pedro Jorge Romero with title Diáspora ) Granada : AJEC , 2009 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).
8 15 y separately published work icon Permutation City Greg Egan , ( trans. Pedro Jorge Romero with title Ciudad permutacion ) Barcelona : Ediciones B , 1998 Z455855 1994 single work novel science fiction (taught in 2 units) 'In Permutation City Egan has said that his main goal was "to take the idea of conscious software - whether it's some kind of scanned human duplicate, or some AI created from scratch - and push it to its logical conclusion'." The story involves human identities being 'loaded into computer memory banks where they become virtual people' (Colin Steele, SF Commentary No 77, p.53).
