Go, Nora! Very good news.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Okay, I kind of understand that. At least, a little more than I had before. I feel that's progress.
You know, I can recommend some excellent books....
What would you recommend as a Cyberpunk Starter Set For Someone Who Hasn't Read Anything Particularly Technology-Related, Not Even Asimov, In Over 20 Years?
Say, 2 or 3 books, please, not 14?
I *adore* Adam, and he's mineminemine, no matter what Ginger says!
He's mine, I tell you. Mine mine mine.
Bring it, babycakes. I'll fight you for him....

All is well that ends in pizza.
Reminds me of The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson.
I my mind picked out Diamond... Neal.
Neal Diamond!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Seany? Can you IM for a sec?

No worries.
William Gibson's Neuromancer is probably as good a place to start as any.
Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is something of a precursor to the genre, and is otherwise an excellent book.
And I'd be inclined to argue that Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club belongs in the genre.
Those three are all good books, and none of them are over long.

Actually, no.
I'm not at home, and the computer I'm on doesn't have messenger, that I know of.
