I didn’t pitch Zvi very hard on the sequel trilogy (it’s good, but didn’t have much more to offer philosophically than the first trilogy). But I recently read the first (and so far only book) of the third trilogyin the Eisenhorn meta-trilogy, and a) that book was good, b) it reminded me of a few neat things about the second trilogy.
1. A major plotpoint at some point is the central Unsong gimmick (there are words of god and you can brute force search for them)
2. The Eisenhorn trilogy is told from the first person. The second trilogy, Ravenor, is told from the POV of an extremely powerful psychic… which means it is also mostly told from first person, but often through the POV of other people which was neat.
