Booked! Author The Clockwork Rocket - Greg Egan

"It was only in 1996 that I finally came across Gravitation by Charles Misner, Kip Thorne and John Wheeler. Published in 1973, this 1279-page masterpiece takes all the time it needs to prepare the reader for the subject, spelling out the beautiful geometric principles that underly Einstein’s conception of gravity. In general relativity, the way lengths and angles are measured varies from place to place and time to time, so there needs to be an underlying framework in which these concepts can be defined without simply taking them for granted. That framework is known as differential geometry, and once you learn its concepts and tools, black holes, the expanding universe, and other counterintuitive features of modern science finally become comprehensible. This book gives you the mathematics you need, defined with care, but backs it all the way with physical intuition. I only wish I’d read it twenty years earlier."

Locus Roundtable on Greg Egan - Karen Burnham

"Welcome to another single-author focused edition of the Locus Roundtable. This time Greg Egan is in the spotlight, as I egregiously abuse my position by wrangling some very kind individuals into talking about my personal current obsession. Participating in this discussion are Gardner Dozois, whose early championing of Egan’s short fiction helped to make him one of the more influential sf authors of the 1990s; Kathleen Ann Goonan, author of the Nanotech Quartet of stories as well as In War Times and This Shared Dream; Russell Letson, long-time reviewer for Locus; and Paul Graham Raven, owner of Futurismic and short story author."
