Well, I suspect I just spent a lot of words telling you something you already knew, so I’ll leave off with a book recommendation. Dichronauts, by Greg Egan. Between that and the Clockwork Rocket trilogy, I don’t know a better way to inculcate an intuition for special relativity. One is set in a 2+2 spacetime; the other in 4+0. The differences…

Dichronauts by Greg Egan (adventures in non-Euclidean space) Provenance by Ann Leckie (space opera) The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. by Neal Stephenson and Nicole Galland (similar themes to Anathem)
If you like hard sci-fi, Greg Egan has a written a few books that cover what life would be like if there were 2 dimensions of time (http://www.gregegan.net/DICHRONAUTS/DICHRONAUTS.html) or if the dimension of time was sumed instead of subtracted when measuring distance (http://www.gregegan.net/ORTHOGONAL/ORTHOGONAL.html)
It's amazing to think how the universe is ruled by such minute details.
I loved Dichronauts. It was a tough read but like you say, very rewarding. But I'm really struggling with Diaspora. I think I just find the concept of life living within computers.... kind of dull? It just doesn't seem that…
……距离大于实际距离，这在通常情况下也是成立的。好吧，我估计自己费了半天口舌只是讲了些你早就知道的东西，那我就以推荐一本书来收尾吧。Greg Egan 的《Dichronauts》。除了这本和《Clockwork Rocket》三部曲，我想不出更好的办法来培养对狭义相对论的直觉了。一部设定在 2+2 时空，另一部在 4+0。两者的区别……

……现实”（不过其中一些也真的很好，《无限刺客》就很棒，而且只有 15 页左右），但他后来的整本书基本上全是硬核（虽然是推测性的）物理内容。《二分航员》（Dichronauts）很难理解，但非常值得。讲的是在一个空间本质上是 2.5 维、时间 1.5 维的宇宙里工作的制图师。《正交》三部曲则是……

如果你喜欢硬科幻，Greg Egan 写了几本书，讲的是如果时间有 2 个维度（http://www.gregegan.net/DICHRONAUTS/DICHRONAUTS.html），或者测量距离时时间维度是相加而不是相减（http://www.gregegan.net/ORTHOGONAL/ORTHOGONAL.html），生活会是什么样。 想想宇宙竟由如此微小的细节所支配，真是不可思议。

我很喜欢《二分航员》（Dichronauts）。读起来很费劲，但就像你说的，非常值得。但《离散》（Diaspora）我实在读不下去。我想我只是觉得生命存在于计算机内部这个概念……有点无聊？就是感觉不那么……
