Permutation City (1994) Author: Greg Egan Genre: Hard SF / Post-Cyberpunk The Premise: Life as a Copy
Permutation City explores a near-future where human consciousness can be scanned and simulated in digital form, creating "Copies." These Copies are not mere recordings; they are sentient, subjective, and indistinguishable from their physical, flesh-and-blood originals.
If a human brain can be simulated, the "pattern" of that mind is what matters, not the specific physical substrate.
The story follows , a man obsessed with achieving true, eternal immortality for these Copies, who are otherwise doomed to die when their host computer hardware inevitably fails. Core Concept: The "Dust Hypothesis"
Permutation City is available in audible format and is a 1994 John W. Campbell Award winner . If you'd like, I can: the three main plot lines Explain the Dust Theory in simpler terms
Permutation City is a deep dive into existential, post-humanist questions, ultimately questioning whether a copy is truly "alive" or merely a functional, haunted simulation.
