Bakemonogatari
Halting StateCharles Stross Seriously twisted mix of high-finance, MMORPGs, and information security all wrapped in a classic spy/crime story. |
GlasshouseCharles Stross I love this guy's ideas. Mindwiped identity bending futurescape with a pointed take on modern times. This one's way up the recommended list. |
Iron SunriseCharles Stross Sequel to Singularity Sky - more great hard-sf from one of the absolute best in the genre. Love it. |
Pattern RecognitionWilliam Gibson Not his strongest work - a modern fiction piece with some interesting ideas but it feels disjointed somehow. |
StarfishPeter Watts Oh look, he's reading more dark hardsf... big surprise. This one brings strong psychotic-biochemistry-fu. Bring your brain |
Little BrotherCory Doctorow A modern 1984 for teens... good layman tech and a great take on the idiocy of the war on terra |
AccelerandoCharles Stross Chunky short-story format that blazes with ideas and pace. Great book. |
Singularity SkyCharles Stross Interesting SF space opera... an ideas book the way old Niven was in that the plot isnt really that important. |
The Sunrise LandsSM Stirling The 4th in a line of Silly post-apocalyptic alternate history with a goofy premise taken too far... but fun to read. |
BlindsightPeter Watts Rough and dark, but it grows on you... like a tumor. Post-gibson cyberpunk noire, the gripping hand in reverse - only really really really creepy. Dont plan on sleeping well after this one. |
The Android's DreamJohn Scalzi Pratchett/Adams as hard SF - with all the humor of both. I loved the concept of the AI - bout time someone decided to attack the Wintermute conundrum backwards. |
ThirteenRichard Morgan Not Kovacs, but interesting all the same. Dystopian take on the American political schism and where it heads - taking some old Dick ideas much further down the road. |
