Linda Nagata's Edges
This had interesting worldbuilding, but I think it was a little too hard sci-fi for my tastes—there was a lot of business with alien spaceship technology that was just super slow. It’s all set in a world where people can sort of create versions of themselves, and then have memories of both selves, unless they get too far away to reunite. So then there’s like a centuries-long spaceship expedition to find out the secrets of humanity's past, and people send versions of themselves and they'll never know what happened to the selves they left behind (and vice versa). I was very into this concept but the plot of the book itself ended up being kind of blah and I really wanted more character development. It’s the first of a trilogy and I don’t think I’ll read the others. B.
