You bring back some memories. Macroscope is also one of my favorite Sci-Fi books. I first read it when I was 13, totally blew my mind. I found it some 30 years later and re-read it. Still a great book, a little easier to understand this time though :)

I also read Orn, but then Anthony diverged into the "Fantasy" genre and was never the same..

I'll always credit Macroscope with leading me to more adult type sci-fi, after reading that thing, I figured I could read just about anything.

I think I ran into it in my late teens and it had a similar effect on me. Guess I’ll have to look for a copy...

I just finished "The Elegant Universe" by Brian Greene. He is a physicist working on string theory. He describes physics from Newton's laws To Einstein's General Relativity to Planck's Quantum Mechanics. These last two are both provable through experimentation yet are apparently incompatible. String theory appears to tie them together. It's a fascinating read. The author makes it understandable, to a degree, to the casual observer.

It blew my mind like Macroscope and it may or may not be science fiction.
