Episode 7: Permutation City by Greg Egan

Today's episode has us discussing Greg Egan's "Permutation City", which is a cyberpunk novel set in the near future where humanity can upload their brains into a computer. The book explores themes of mortality and consciousness, following an insurance salesman with a grand vision, and a software programmer out to explore the origins of life. Listen along with us as we give you a spoiler-free review in the first part of the episode and then discuss all of the major plot points in part 2.

Our next book will be "The Fifth Season" by N.K. Jemisin, which is book 1 of the Broken Earth trilogy.
