Hi Everyone,
First post on these forums but been listening to the podcast for a couple of months now. Anyway not sure when Eclipse Phase was released here in the UK but I picked up the print version last week. After flipping through most of the book and actually sitting down to properly read the background section today there seem to be some parallels between it and some sci-fi novels i've read. Thought it may be useful to post them up here as inspiration for adventures.
So here goes:
Richard Morgan - Altered Carbon is the first in the series followed by Broken Angels and Woken Furies (I think thats the right order). These books were the first place I saw the concept of 're-sleeving' and they also talk about the possibility of multiple copies of yourself etc. They also have the use of a cortical stack to store memories.
Peter F Hamilton - Anything by this guy! Particularly his Nights Dawn trilogy and Confederation Saga. Cant think of any direct links of the top of my head right now but I was strongly reminded of his books while reading through the EP background.
Thats all I have for now but hopefully it will be of some use!
Jake
Also would love to hear an EP actual play!
