It's around a year now since I read this, and I find myself wanting to read it again.
I bought it on the strength the first few pages, which describe a person viewing the sun from Mercury - and I guess that's why I want to go back to it. Although there barely seems to be a plot, let alone a conclusion, the ideas are fascinating; from space travel via hollowed out asteroids, to terraforming venus, to biological gender morphing in all directions ... ideas and images keep forming in my mind, months later, and I know I will have to pick it up again.
