Pizza Slow, Mastodon post from July 4, 2023, 110656633950519099

Fifteen: Egan again. I knew I’d have a 10 hours of plane time, so I brought “Oceanic” ( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6741362-oceanic) and it delivered.

OceanicCollected together here for the first time are twelve s…Goodreads

Figure 1. Link preview of https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6741362-oceanic, "Oceanic".

Egan’s political and hard science (the bulk of this set) stories are my favorites while the atheist ones like the title story “Oceanic” are probably more interesting to previously religious people, which I never was. I’ve always found faith to be entirely inscrutable, so exploring losing it is kinda just more of that to me?

Figure 2. the current "Oceaninc" paperback cover, mostly black with sepia colored imagery of something abstract (maybe from a microscope of some kind) covered by the authors name in large white distressed italic capital sans partially filled with a yellow liquid (that could be photographed vegetable oil, idk).
