Quarantine by Greg Egan
In a near-future world sealed off from the rest of the cosmos by an unexplained quantum barrier, humanity copes with a reality where observation itself appears to prune possible universes. The story follows a gritty smuggler drawn into illegal neural drugs and a group of scientists who plan radical experiments to pierce the barrier, forcing confrontations with the nature of consciousness, free will and the ethical cost of collapsing quantum possibilities. Tense and idea-driven, the novel blends hard physics with noir elements as it asks what price should be paid to learn the true structure of reality.
