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....

Reminds me of The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson.

I my mind picked out Diamond... Neal.

Neal Diamond!

Longfellow serenade.....Such were the plans I made.....

I may need professional counseling.

Seany? Can you IM for a sec?

BLURRED Vision ~ma to sj!

Health~ma to sj. No more sickness! For anyone. Dagnabit.

Say, 2 or 3 books, please, not 14?

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.

Seany? Can you IM for a sec?

Actually, no.

I'm not at home, and the computer I'm on doesn't have messenger, that I know of.

Bring it, babycakes. I'll fight you for him....

My choice of weapon: participial phrases at dawn.

virtual Light - william gibson most readable esp if you haven't read sf in awhile. Just accept that things will be explained later. good to listen to on tape

I am very suggestable today. I was listen to a books on CD ( Ten Big Ones? janet evonovich) and a woman robbed a frito truck. for the fritos. so on my way home I had to stop at the little mini grocery store and get some fritos.

neighbors brought me some lemon pie.
