What people on Hacker News said
Schild's Ladder is the third in the unofficial trilogy (he denies any connection, but I definitely reckon they form a nice trio) and it's pretty hardcore: lots of quantum mechanics and graph theory actually driving the plot.
The main premise of the film would make a great movie.
Schild's Ladder by Greg Egan is interesting for considering models of reality (also his other books).
