Greg Egan est en interview sur le web à propos de son nouveau roman : Incandescence.
Il présente le livre dans l'entretien :
Tell us a bit about Incandescence. What’s it about?
Greg Egan : A million years from now, the galaxy is divided between the vast, cooperative meta-civilisation known as the Amalgam, and the silent occupiers of the galactic core known as the Aloof. The Aloof have long rejected all attempts by the Amalgam to enter their territory, but have permitted travellers to take a perilous ride as unencrypted data in their communications network, providing a short-cut across the galaxy’s central bulge. When Rakesh encounters a traveller, Lahl, who claims she was woken by the Aloof on such a journey and shown a meteor full of traces of DNA, he accepts her challenge to try to find the uncharted world deep in the Aloof’s territory from which the meteor originated. "
Et il évoque son prochain roman :
"What are you working on now?
Greg Egan : My next book is a comedy about the geopolitics of virtual reality, set in the very near future.
