Post pdf's, links, and/or reviews of books that really fuarrrked with
your brain.

Diaspora is probably the best example I have personally read. A view
of what happens 100 years after the singularity and humanity is a
small segment of the population. Plus some really out-there make-
believe theoretical physics and n-dimenstional mathematics. Greg Egan
has a lot of stuff like this.

I don't know if it's mind-bending, but it kind of opens up your view
on things. I'm talking about the Black Iron Prison.
There's a second one, but I haven't read it. Perhaps I'll do that now

Diaspora is one of my favourites. Quarantine is also phenomenal, it's
playing around with quantum mechanics.

Cixin Liu's Three Body Problem continually fuarrrks with me. The
shooter/farmer conundrums and Trisolarian culture are pretty
entertaining food for thought tbh. Can't wait to get my hands on the
rest of the triology tbh.

That isn't the full text is it? Or are the chapters just numbered
anachronistically like that?

These three really resonated, and parts keep haunting me decades
later. Kind of like PTSD, something will trigger a flashback...
