Staff Pick
Revelation Space is very good "high sci-fi," written by an author who has a real background in physics and interesting ideas about how our science could progress, especially the possible evolution of cybernetics and post-humanism. The book posits a strange parallelism between digital entities and the use of nano technology. It's also engaging and keeps you guessing till the very end. I would recommend this to any sci-fi head, especially those who like hard sci-fi.
