Transmitthis I'm really looking for something to read,
fed up with wading through some books lately (dam my OCD that forces me to finish them - lol )

Anyway if anyone can recommend me a Book or Author I would be most grateful.

What I'm after is Cyberpunk? I think.
Favorite books lately have been

Snow Crash
WWW:Wake (Watch and Wonder)
I Loved the latest Iain Banks Surface Detail

Basically if it has Starships / Space travel and heaps of Technology / Computers I'm a happy bunny.

Can anyone help me find something?

Haven't updated my profile with all I've read yet, but any suggestions are welcome

Oh almost forgot really loved Rainbows End

Bob NeuroMancer, Count Zero, Mona Lisa Overdrive, Burning Chrome- all by William Gibson.
I'm assuming you've already read Mirrorshades.

Transmitthis Thanks Bob, realised there was an actual "recommendation" area. so have used that.

Nice suggestions though, their already on my to read list.

I have a few you might be interested in on my cyberpunk & post-cyberpunk shelf.


Todd To my understanding Mirrorshades was the first 'cyberpunk' anthology published - though I may certainly be wrong. To me years of looking through used bookstores to find a copy after having borrowed one in college (I know, but Amazon isn't as fun!).

One other addition to Bob's list would be Islands in the Net by Bruce Sterling. This and Mirrorshades were my favorite cyberpunk works of his (though he technically only edited the latter).


Paul Harmon Moxyland. A newer take on the Genre
