Egan is always dense. It's some mind bending physics/comp sci, but all cooked up in his brain so doesn't really apply to anything productive. I struggled with his books and his writing but toughened it out because I liked the concepts, but he's divisive.

That's not really true. Some of his works are science-heavy, others are not. Particularly, many of short stories require little-to-no context.
