| **Greg Egan** is secretly from the future and he writes about it. He also writes about other futures, clearly to distract from his true identity. | |
| |
| Universes: | |
| |
| * [[religion:Greg Egan:Eganverse]]: The universe with Qusps, Exoselves and Mediators. Humans are the only known sapient species. | |
| * //**Permutation City**// Set near-future (~2050). //Exoself// namedrop. | |
| * //**Singleton**// Set shortly after //Permutation City//. //Qusp// origins. | |
| * //**Oracle**// Set after Singleton, semantically, but involves time-travel to before //Permutation City//, where it buds off into a different universe by necessity. | |
| * //**Schild's Ladder**// Set in ~23 000. Whole nine yards. | |
| * [[religion:Greg Egan:Amalgamverse]]: There are several sapient species. The //Aloof// inhabit the galaxy's //Bulge// and refuse all communication. The //Amalgam// the rest of the galaxy, forming a patchwork of these species. It is quite clear that this is not an Eganverse future chiefly because the inventor (Ndoli) of their //Qusp//-equivalent (the jewel) does not coincide with the Eganverse one. | |
| * //**Learning To Be Me**// references the //Ndoli jewel// (first of the lot, chronologically) | |
| * //**Closer**// references the //Ndoli jewel// (second of the lot, chronologically) | |
| * Then, from this point on, chronology is uncertain: | |
| * //**Incandescence**// | |
| * //**Riding The Crocodile**// | |
| * //**Border Guards**// references the //Ndoli jewel// | |
| * [[religion:Greg Egan:Quarantineverse]]: 'Priming' is a thing. | |
| * //**Caress**// Presumably set before //Quarantine//, since the bubble isn't mentioned. | |
| * //**Quarantine**// | |
| * [[religion:Greg Egan:Distressverse]]: Greenhouse refugees, DNA resequencing. | |
| * //**Distress**// | |
| * //**The Moat**// | |
| * ??? | |
| * //**Diaspora**// Set around 3 000 for the beginning of the book. | |
