Who Should Read Echopraxia?

Echopraxia by Peter Watts appeals to readers fascinated by hard science fiction and existential themes, akin to fans of Vernor Vinge's A Fire Upon the Deep and Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey. Those who enjoy complex, cerebral narratives with philosophical depth will appreciate its intricate exploration of consciousness and biotechnology.
