I am joined by Arlen Walker of Live from Pellam's Wasteland (https://www.youtube.com/@LivefromPellamsWasteland) to discuss the 2001 novel by Chasm City by Alastair Reynolds.  Set in the Revelation Space universe, but not party of the major trilogy's story, this novel deals with themes of identity, memory, and immortality, and many of its scenes are concerned primarily with describing the unusual societal and physical structure of the titular city, a major nexus of Reynolds's universe. It won the 2002 British Science Fiction Association award.My wife does the cover clip art.
