Gave up Surface Detail after 159 pages. Too loose. Not tight enough. Currently only two sci fi authors make me want to read their entire back catalogue : Alastair Reynolds and Greg Egan. The rest are simply not in their league [ Peter Hamilton / Dan Simmons / China Mieville / Stephen Baxter / Greg Bear / Neil Gaiman / Neal Stephenson ] I have two by Nancy Kress which I have to read which I bought after reading her very profound short Beggars In Spain. I hope she can reproduce such quality in novel form and join the hallowed company of Reynolds and Egan. I am currently reading Farewell To Reality : How Fairytale Physics Betrays The Search For Scientific Truth by Jim Baggott. I think james would like him he says the same things he does
