Greg Eagan’s SF is so hard it makes ‘hard’ SF feel like soap bubbles.


That guy goes as hard as a math class.

For example, here's a page on his site explaining a concept in one of his books: https://www.gregegan.net/DIASPORA/02/02.html


His explanation of time dilation and different types of space-time geometry is far more accessible than any other I’ve seen.

You can feel the shape of the fluting by the subtle dimples in the cardboard the characters are cut from!

One of my favorite authors in all honesty.
