GOOD book. A bit incomprehensible at the beginning when you’re learning the jargon for the world they’re describing.
Would reccomend for all hard sci-fi fans out there.

I love that book so much. There is a free audio book of it on YouTube. Very great mix of hard sci-fi and cosmic horror. I haven’t read the followup book because it just sounds a lot different and not my thing but I might if someone makes a good case for it.
Seems like it would be extremely challenging but could also make for a great film adaptation.
Echopraxia is still really good, maybe doesn’t hit as hard as Blindsight in comparison, but it’s still a great book IMO. The writing style is similar, it’s kind of a smoother read because the POV character isn’t as much of a “machine” as Siri. The plot is a bit messier than the first one though.
I read it, and it is different. If your favorite part of Blindsight is the spaceship stuff, the follow up is going to be a bit lacking. However, if you like the world that the author created and want to see more of it, absolutely give it a go. Fair warning, it’s no less depressing than the first, but that’s just how art works sometimes.
i’m going to try the followup and report back
