【Content Introduction】
The self is an illusion, choice does not exist, truth is not a building, it is quicksand...
How to survive in a turbulent world?
.
This three-volume collection includes 20 classic works by Greg Egan, a master of contemporary hard science fiction, spanning three decades. Egan, renowned throughout the West and Japan, has never revealed his true identity: he refuses to sign, socialize, or share photos online. Even his email address clues are presented as IQ puzzles. He believes that the inner world, like the outer world, can be understood through natural science. Perceptions, personality, memory, and even love can be explained from the depths of physics. We can understand everything—if we are brave enough.

Sea of ​​Prayer (Hugo Award-winning novel): A descendant of humanity from a distant alien planet, driven by faith, sinks into the ocean carrying a heavy load, and upon the verge of suffocation, receives divine revelation.

【Expert Recommendation】
Egan's writing is intelligent and logical... When I read his work, I immediately understand what he's trying to do, because that's what I want to do. If Egan is a science fiction writer, then I should be a science fiction writer too; that's where I belong.
