An oil painting of an impossibly tall tower suspended in the sky. The tower is half cast in shower at it's base, but at it's top catches the bright arch of dawn, illuminating the white of the tower's stone. A pinnacle shines at the towers top.

In those far, terrific regions where the cold comes down like Death
Gleams the red glint of his pinions, smokes the vapor of his breath."

A Meal of Thorns 43- DIASPORA with Eden Kupermintz Greg Egan’s work exemplifies a certain kind of β€œhard” science fiction: not that it’s obsessed with big manly space battles, but rather that it’s using science to reall…

For the latest episode of A Meal of Thorns, critic and podcaster @tallesteden.bsky.social joins ARB editor @casella.bsky.social to talk about big-picture, far-future science fiction (with some surprisingly timely bits) in Greg Egan's DIASPORA:

Got the chance to talk about one of my all time favorite sci-fi novels and also a book that I consider massively underrated. Vast scales, theoretical mathematics (no, seriously; so much math) and super cool future humanity and space travel!
