Well thanks I literally can't not read this now, I have a deep love for the antimemetics pieces and Permutation City both (btw sounds like you should check out Gnomon if you haven't read it, as I expect

@ElodesNL

will agree)

Yes!! Gnomon is such a damn cool read. It is truly extra in ways I've never before seen a book be even moderately interesting. Such a deeply fun and playful read. Can super recommend it.
