Almost...there... It's a dry read for the most part. Not as good as I remember it on first reading. Just downgraded from 4 stars to 3. Bracing myself for the sci-fi religious allegory that I remember cringing at a little when I first read it.

"If you were a Copy, you'd believe the dust theory, too. You'd feel the truth of it in your nonexistent bones."

"Brain the size of a planet--and here I am, counting to ten." Egan quotes Douglas Adams, here in the context of an experiment in distributed consciousness. The quoted character is a digitized "Copy" of a person. The Copy's software is spread out across 1000 computer sites around the world. Everything (including counting) feels normal to the Copy, though.

Re-reading this thought-provoking novel. Not claiming to get all of it. Bonus points for "Solipsist Nation."
