Permutation City is the best sci-fi I've ever read. Give Ted Chiang a try too if you haven't.

I have a collection of his short stories called Axiomatic. Waiting till I'm in a science fiction mood to read it, but I've heard a lot of good things.

bought Dichronauts, read it, couldn't quite visualise a world with two dimensions of space and two dimensions of time, felt like an idiot. aside from that it was kind of ordinary.
