This starts off well in a post-human future, where we have the human race split into three - real people, simulations and robot types. You then think that this could be interesting - seeing how they all interact and whatnot - but then everyone but the simulations get killed off in a gamma ray burst. Bummer.
Oh, then they find a message in a neutron with an image of the soon to collapse centre of the galaxy, and make a run for it. Then begins a rather mathematical journey through lots of nested universes and so on, climbing through neutrons to get from one to the next. Gets a little boring.
One interesting bit was the reflection on how having five dimensions of real space would behave as opposed to three. Gravity being unstable, no such things as orbits and so on. Could have done a lot more with that.
Overall - interesting starting point, substantial disappointment thereafter.
