Я в своё время задался таким же вопросом, когда мне посоветовали Quantum Thief. Не художественный текст, а просто набор придуманных терминов.
The Archon bladeships, coming in fast at a .5g, much more delta-v than the gentle tug of Perhonen’s lightsail. The torches of their antimatter engines are fiery pillars of backscattered mesons and gamma rays in the spimescape. The Highway, twenty lightseconds away, their next way-point. A constant torrent of ships, one of the few rare ideal invariant surfaces in the N-body Newton’s nightmare of the Solar System, a gravitational artery that lets you travel fast and easy with the gentlest of pushes. A safe haven, too far away. The hidden Sobornost tech beneath the Oortian sapphire coral wakes up. The spidership reconfigures itself. The scattered modules pull themselves together along their tethers and fuse together into a tight, hard cone. The q-dot winglets transform from a perfectly reflective material into a diamond-hard firewall
Господи, может кто нибудь объяснит, как это читать? И зачем?
Кто-то купил права на издание и теперь хочет их окупить. А зачем ещё фанзон обо всей этой графомании пишет? )))
