In a lot of ways, Echopraxia feels like a very classic sci-fi novel, favouring intellectualism and thought experiments over character and plot. While this style will no doubt have its fans, overall it leaves it as an unsatisfying reading experience. Watts remains an incredibly talented writer but this was far from his best work.
