Seconded --- it's a great book. Egan has an amazing talent for off-handedly mentioning and then casting aside multiple mind-expanding ideas per chapter that other authors would expand into a complete novel.

Non-spoiler: I believe this book features the biggest sculpture in fiction.

(Currently reading _Incandescence_.)

It's been awhile since I've read it; I'm going to try and ask this question in a spoiler-free way: are you talking about the thing they end up 'chasing' through the 4-6-4-6 (or arguably 3-5-3-5, etc)?
