Greg Egan: Distress (Hardcover, 1997, Harper Prism)

It is 2055 and the world is far better--and infinitely worse.

Review of 'Distress' on 'Goodreads'

Fantastic! Starts with a bang, then quiets to a slow boil until shortly after the halfway mark, when it makes a long, page-turning sprint to the finish. I had to re-read many parts a number of times to better understand the quantum physics and information theory, but I enjoyed being confused and grasping to learn these difficult topics. Greg Egan continues to impress and inspire me.
