Bonus points for any books you believe are classics from that time period. Any language, but only fiction please.

I’m really excited to see what Lemmy has.

    I still rate Snow Crash as one of the most enjoyable reads.

    Whatever you may think of it, it’s a non stop ride. I even enjoyed the audiobook fairly recently which has got to be getting on for 20 years since the book.

    I must get his more recent works.

      This book is one of those that just lives in my head, like its scenes and images pop into view whenever I’m thinking of sci-fi, especially cyberpunk.

      Snow Crash and Cryptonomicon are among my favorites. I’m also a bit of a sucker for the techno-futuristic theme of the former, and echno-enthusiasm theme of the latter. Growing up as an IT geek in the 90’s made a lot of it strike a home run with me.

      Rise and Fall of the D.O.D.O. is pretty cool. It’s written as an epistolary of letters, diary entries, corporate memos, and voicemails, which gives it an interesting and fun angle.
