Roy Adams reviewed SCHILD'S LADDER by Greg Egan
Great story with some embedded physics lessons
5 stars
Once again, a great story constructed by Greg Egan from real theories. Some of the concepts are a bit heavy since they come from physics theory, but well worth the time and effort thinking about them to enjoy the story.
