David Zindell’s sci-fi trilogy A Requiem for Homo Sapiens contains many themes relevant to LessWrong: gur znc vf abg gur greevgbel, fhcrevagryyvtrag NVf, vagryyvtrapr nzcyvsvpngvba, rgp. The trilogy is set in the same world as Neverness, after the events of that book, but they can be read independently, and I like the trilogy better, personally.
Finally got around to reading Iain Banks’ Player of Games.
I don’t have much to say about it. Superficially similar to Das Glasperlenspiel, but with an altogether different message. The climax is sadly underwritten.
