Teranesia is a 1999 science fiction novel by Greg Egan.
[edit]
Plot summary

The novel explores an unusual connection between molecular genetics and quantum computing, with criticism of some of the excesses of postmodernism and feminism theory. However, most of the novel focuses on future south-east Asian politics (Egan criticized Indonesian imperialism and Australian treatment of refugees), repressed childhood guilt, evolutionary biology and academic life. As often in Egan's books, there is some focus on sexuality: this time the lead character is merely gay (rather than some of the more exotic alternatives in other novels).
