I love books on AI.

I'd recommend everything mentioned in this thread so far as well as this book. Permutation City is one of my favourites despite the fact that it's not your typical AI. It focuses on the idea of people's consciousnesses being uploaded and run in a simulated environment and how they communicate with the outside world. It's a little dated but it's a fascinating read.

Should I start here with Egan, or ease my way into his stuff. If I like Jean Baudrillard and Nick Bostrom does this have the same sort of "feeling" in regards to simulation theory as them?

Indeed.

There's a bit like that in Permutation City by Greg Egan. It's a small piece of Peer's arc. Lots of other interesting ideas about our relationship with time.
