How would life have got there in the first place? How on earth could humans live there? How do you have sex when you live in a frictionless superfluid? What sports would you play in such an environment? What would happen when civilisation that built all of this collapsed? A great example of a simple thought experiment taken to an extreme conclusion. Oh and there's a plot and character development and links into a larger storyline and everything! Knowledge of advanced quantum physics a bonus when reading this book, either that or a permanent line to wikipedia for those of us who don't know what an electron gas is (  ) rufty | Aug 29, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review
