Review Of Greg Egan's "Permutation City"
A egan, greg %T Permutation City %I HarperCollins / HarperPrism %C New York%D 1994 %G ISBN 006-105481-X %P 341 pp. %O paperback, US$4.99 BACK ?.
http://users.aol.com/dmchess/www/permcity.html

Extractions: 30 October 1995 Executive Summary: A solid, non-dark, hard-SF exploration of some of the things that may happen when we get computers powerful enough to accurately simulate intelligent systems. Raises some fascinating philosophical questions, and explores the edges of them, but introduces some untenable magic near the end for the sake of the action. Recommended to the general SF reader, and especially to cellular-automaton and artificial life fans. Background: Western civilization, circa 2050. Not much has changed in fifty-odd years; not really enough to be convincing. Egan had to set his story far enough in the future to get really really powerful computers, but he has no particular interest in the politics, sociology, or otherwise of this future world. That's OK. Computers are ubiquitous and highly networked, and computer time is available in massive quantities on the QIPS ("quadrillion instructions per second") market. A programmer will casually add a few billion computing elements to a computation on the chance it'll be useful, quasi-intelligent programs are available to filter your incoming mail by how you'd feel after reading it, automatic program-verification finally seems to be working. That sort of thing. It's possible to create a Copy of yourself in the global computing net, if you can afford it. These Copies have no legal status at the moment, although since some of them are Copies of very powerful individuals whose originals are no longer around, they are beginning to have considerable influence. Controversy and upheaval are expected, but they form no part of the plot, and we never find out whether or not they actually happen.

Extractions: Issue 18 - September 1996 Ibn Qirtaiba , as you may have gathered by now, is an SF magazine. "SF" is the preferred abbreviation for "science fiction" amongst most fans, largely because it encompasses a wider variety of sub-genres than "sci-fi" and possesses less of a derogatory ring to it. The sub-genres or related genres of science fiction I usually refer to as being subsumed within SF are speculative fiction and science fantasy, but numerous other genres can also tortuously be described using words with the same initials. Fantasy per se , although it shares a similar fan base to science fiction, is not properly referred to as SF. As Isaac Asimov once noted, fantasy represents a wider field than science fiction because it "deals with all the events, past, present and future, that might arise in any possible society with only the exception of the one which actually exists." Should Ibn Qirtaiba become a magazine of fantasy as well? This is a question I now have to consider, having recently received a number of submissions that fall more easily into the category of fantasy than SF. I have no particular objection to broadening the scope of the magazine, but I would like to hear readers' comments first. An author who could never be accused of writing fantasy is hard SF author Greg Egan, who is interviewed exclusively by

http://www.urbanophile.com/arenn/sf/reviews/teranesia.html

Extractions: SF Reviews by Aaron M. Renn By Author By Title By Date Reviewed Conclusion: Worth Reading It's very interesting that this book should follow so closely after Greg Bear's Darwin's Radio (in the US at least). In both novels we see unexplained genetic alterations that turn out to be the manifestation of some sort of advanced computer-like processes taking place in nature. (Sorry, more details would be spoilers). In this case, a butterfly that is far different than expected leads a husband and wife team of biologists from India to a remote island in the south Pacific seeking an answer to the mystery. The scientific premise was interesting, but does not dominate the novel. Which is too bad because I didn't care all that much for the characters in the book. It wasn't that they were poorly drawn or unlikeable (except where Egan plainly wanted them to be), only that they did not connect with me. Well, I did find a few flaws in the execution of the protagonist Prabir. At times, he's vulnerable and tortured with self doubt. But other times he's extremely cool and rational. I just didn't think he was portrayed consistently throughout, even given the growth one would ordinarily expect someone to go through during the years we know him. Also, as a youngster, he seemed particularly precocious, particularly in the way he dispassionately dissected the behavior and motivations of the adults around him. It just wasn't believeable. Since it's the characters rather than the science driving this one, that downgraded my opinion of the novel. But on the plus side, Egan avoided subjecting us to a barrage of biology lectures like Bear did, and he kept the book fairly short and sweet. However, like Robert Charles Wilson's Bios, which I also just finished reading, this one might have better been done as a novella than a novel.

Extractions: SF Reviews by Aaron M. Renn By Author By Title By Date Reviewed Conclusion: Incomprehensible but Worth Reading This is a science fiction novel that combines a number of elements that should satisfy many an SF fan: advanced AI, galactic exploration, a vast sweep of time and space, etc. Indeed, there was a lot that I liked about the novel. However, it suffers from way too much pseudo-scientific gobbledygook. There's a quote at the front from the San Francisco Examiner that says "One gets the feeling at times not of reading a novel, but of witnessing an extended conversation Egan is having with himself on topics ranging from biotechnology to particle physics to social theory." Somehow I don't think that was meant to be a compliment. The novel opens sometime near the end of the 21st century. Humanity has splintered into disembodied AI's living in cyberspace polises (some of them actual uploaded humans), people who live in robot bodies, and those who remain relatively human, termed fleshers. I say relatively because most of these humans have radically altered their genetic structure in some way. The theoretically impossible collapse of a nearby binary neutron star system sends massive doses of radiation to earth, severely harming the biosphere. This brings home to the non-fleshers that they too might prove mortal. So they decide to try spreading across the galaxy in an attempt to improve survival chances, hence the title. Right off the bat we're treated to an example of what is wrong with this book. This is in the form on an extended description of how one of the polises goes about constructing a new AI citizen. This could be considered an interesting bit of speculation to some fans, but to me it was just superfluous. This fascination with scientific speculation, as opposed to the normal plot, character, setting etc of the mainstream novel, is one of the biggest weaknesses of the genre, IMO, both from a fan and writer perspective. Every SF novel needs what I call its "SF premise", some bit of speculation that informs the story or setting such that the book is SF instead of a vanilla novel. But taking this too far is, again IMO, a big mistake. Egan crosses this line into scientific speculation for its own sake.
