The Singleton Universe gets its name from the short-story Singleton. It has a fairly subtle but intricately woven reach, which is to say that it's not always immediately obvious that a story is set in this universe.
In the Singleton Universe, mankind and its posthuman descendants are the only sapient species known to exist in the Milky Way Galaxy.
Recurring elements[]
Works[]
- Oracle
Taking place in an alternate timeline from the other stories, Oracle is set after Singleton in the narrative, but involves time-travel, putting it first in the chronological order. - Permutation City (debatable)
~2050 A.D.
Exoselves are a thing, but that might just be recycled terminology (though Egan doesn't seem to be the type for that). - Singleton
Singleton takes place in the chronological whereabouts to Permutation City and details Qusp origins. - Schild's Ladder
~23 000 A.D.
Effortlessly the richest source of information about the Singleton Universe.
