>>	Anonymous Thu Nov 30 14:55:47 2017 No.10336879 Vamps in space is as weird as it get. The Crucifix glitch is a cool idea. I wished this book was more sadistic and nihilistic.

>>	Anonymous Thu Nov 30 15:00:29 2017 No.10336897 >>10336645 Probably a terrifying and original spin on the familiar alien contact story.

>>	Anonymous Thu Nov 30 15:00:45 2017 No.10336900 >>10336889 I don't really want to. This was a book about a cool idea, but I thought the story wasn't very good and neither was the writing.

>>	Anonymous Thu Nov 30 15:03:09 2017 No.10336907 >>10336900 probably best to avoid echopraxia then, since the plot is worse than blindsight and the prose is just as bad. it's only really worth it if you want to see some of the ideas from blindsight extrapolated in new and more disturbing ways

>>	Anonymous Thu Nov 30 15:14:44 2017 No.10336974 >>10336907 It sounds interesting, but I probably wouldn't find it worthwhile in the end.

>>	Anonymous Thu Nov 30 17:56:22 2017 No.10337638 If you want some more hard sci fi, I recommend Greg Egan. I read echopraxia and had to push myself to finish it.
