What people on Hacker News said
Favorite novel, I think: Orthogonal by Greg Egan. First couple books in a trilogy are out. If you liked Egan in the 90s but mostly lost interest this millennium, like me, then take a look.
Read the Orthogonal trilogy. I think it may be Egan's best work. Although it's more like Schild's Ladder than Permutation City, I suppose. (Physics ideas rather than computation.)
