I enjoyed Quarantine a lot when I read it 18 or so years ago. A rollicking tale for something with effectively no violence, no sex and no swearing. I recall the philosopher Huw Price (who was big in axiomatic metaphysics a thousand years ago when I was a postgrad) was a bit of an Egan fan, claiming that his fiction explored stuff that was only starting to emerge in academic literature.
