I've read Greg Bear before. He wrote a trilogy for the Halo series. They were strong in many areas but a little weak in others, imo

This is an original work of his. A spin on the slower than light "Ark Ship" concept. This massive thing tethered to a "moonlet" is traveling between stars. Supposedly it's carrying colonists but this guy wakes up and it's obvious things went south

Bear is known for his exploration of concepts that go beyond the self and the greater forces beyond mere individuals. Also his recognition of how immense the span of time can be

exacerangutan i think you'd like this. This has that unsettling, trans-humanist reality-stretching sci-fi weirdness i get the feeling you like

I am intrigued, anyway
