Quarantine
by Greg Egan
I actually picked up this copy of Egan's 1992 hard science fiction novel before the lockdown, but decided it was the time to read it now. The quarantine in the title was imposed on the whole solar system in the 2030s, a bubble that blocked off the stars from the night sky, apparently imposed by an alien intelligence, but still by the 2060s, when the action of the novel takes place, nobody knows why. Australian writer Egan has no shortage of big ideas and in this novel he's playing around with the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. Highly entertaining and thought provoking. This is the second of his novels I've read, after the excellent Permutation City.
