The unforgettable start to one of Egan's best novels. Thanks for posting.

I love how Egan visualizes the complicated structures of data.

I think on this book from time to time....THis first chapter was the second roughest bit. good reading, thanks for sharing

Where can I find a version with a less weird voice?

[@smileyp4535]

I love the tts voice, it adds to the sci-fi the themes. I really wish there was a visualization for this, it is beautiful in prose but it is very difficult to imagine much of it, especially at the beginning

[@sftales7774]

This was a result of a mini project I did testing out various TTS engines last year. As part of that I needed a difficult input and this was an obvious choice with its heavy technical prose. MS had some voices that were more realistic or human sounding, but these older gen voices were more charismatic / suitable imo.
