This is an old revision of the document!
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:
- 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.
- Diaspora Set around 3 000 for the beginning of the book. (Still puts it firmly into 'Age of Barbarism' territory).
- Schild's Ladder Set in ~23 000. Whole nine yards.
- 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. (The chronology of these is uncertain.) It is quite clear that this is not an Eganverse future chiefly because the inventor of their Qusp-equivalent does not coincide with the Eganverse one.
- Incandescence
- Border Guards
- Riding The Crocodile
- Quarantineverse: 'Priming' is a thing.
- Caress Presumably set before Quarantine, since the bubble isn't mentioned.
- Quarantine
