![]() ![]() ![]() The impression I got, though, was that Watts was continuing a conversation. Now, I haven’t read Blindsight so I can’t be sure how many of the concepts and notions introduced are original to Echopraxia. It makes for a slightly frustrating but often times exciting reading experience. So much so that the novel’s plot regularly stops, almost abruptly, so these concepts can be discussed and teased out. This is hard science fiction that’s having a grand old-time exploring difficult, nebulous concepts such as free will and faith. ![]() (The first book, Blindsight, garnered multiple award nominations including a Hugo). Weaponised tornadoes, posthuman monks, sentient mould and the subtle conditioning of the human brain are only some of the concepts you’ll find in Echopraxia, the second novel in Peter Watt’s “Firefall” series. ![]()
