"Empty Space" by M. John Harrison
This is the third in Harrison's Kefahuchi Tract series, closer in style and content to the first, "Light" (which I loved) than to book 2 "Nova Swing" (a bit meh to me).
There are 3 main story strands, one set in a near future England and the others in the 25th century universe introduced in the earlier books. There are shared locations and names from the earlier books but this one mainly stands alone.
Harrison's writing is all about atmosphere and some of it at times reminds me of the taste of mental illness. I'm not sure I quite grasped all that happened in the climax but its a great ride getting there.
