rmdI 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.

Date: 2005-11-22 05:03 pm (UTC)So I need to read: I, Robot; Foundation; Stranger in a Strange Land; The Man in the High Castle (which I might have read - I've read a lot of Dick - but I'm not sure); The Diamond Age; and Trouble with Lichen. Neat.
The book that utterly creeped me out the most was Brave New World because it was written in 1932. THIRTY-TWO! When I read it, I didn't know that, and figured it for a 1960's piece, 50's at the earliest. I read it, was terrified of it, and then found out when it originally came out and became frightened of Aldous Huxley.
I agree with xthread on Dream Park too...
