TRAGIC!

I was reading the guardian.co.uk's top 20 geek novels, and
noticed that neither brunner's "shockwave rider" nor "stand on zanzibar" showed up on the list and were, in fact, conspicuously missing.

go read these, people.

What I found most outstanding about "Stand on Zanzibar" was that it predicted the entire choreography of a typical MTv video fifteen years before such things were common (and about ten years before they existed at all).

I have the same problems reading Norman Spinrad's "Bug Jack Barron"; the television layouts and attack journalism pretty much came true between the time he wrote the book and the time I read it.
