"Impressively bizarre . . . Egan may have out-Eganed himself with
this one."—Publishers Weekly
"Egan (The Arrows of Time, 2014, etc.) specializes in inventing
seriously strange worlds; this one might well be his weirdest
yet."—Kirkus Reviews
"Hard science fiction in its purest form . . . Egan has always done
the science half of science fiction as well as anyone can."—The
1000 Year Plan
"Per usual for Egan, conceptualizing the math and physics that form
the foundation of this bizarre sci-fi tale takes some doing, but
the results are well worth the effort."—B&N Sci-Fi and Fantasy
Blog
“I always enjoy Greg Egan’s writing. Coupled with his scientific
background and fertile imagination, he manages to come up with
places and aliens unlike any others . . . not only does Egan offer
a unique world and alien race – he also provides a cracking
adventure story full of tension and excitement right from the start
through to the climactic ending. . . . I love this one. Brilliant
and inventive, this book reminds me all over again just why I love
science fiction so much.”—Brainfluff, 10/10. Reviewed by Sarah J.

“I haven’t been this surprised and entertained by world building
for a long time . . . the most brutal and poignant depiction of
oppression I have ever seen in fiction. This is why I love Egan’s
work – he is absolutely unflinching. . . . Like all of Egan’s work,
Dichronauts is brilliant and sweet, heartbreaking and obscure.”—The
Kingdoms of Evil
“I enjoyed this one very much—in large part because the characters
and problems become very engaging as the story progresses, but also
because I just liked messing around with the maths.”—The
Oikofuge
