A review by schyzm
A Hunger for the Infinite by Gregory Benford

3.0

the novella and performance were fine. I picked this up for free from audible a few years ago and just now got around to listening to it.

The imagery was potent, though I wasn't happy with the overall amount of body horror described.

There are big sci-fi ideas here - BDOs abound, including partial dyson spheres and the harvesting of a galactic nucleus - unfortunately these are just window dressings, and the actual locations where things occur are less grand.
