Any suggestions?
I've only recently (2yrs) gotten into Sterling and Gibson's work...and Rucker's novel about a 5th (6th) dimensional transformation did nothing for me.
Any other more 'gutteral' books out there?

Zodiac,
The Diamond Age,
Cryptonomicon are three of my favorites.
I haven't touched his Baroque cycle books yet. -

It's excellent. -

Sat, September 9, 2006 - 1:05 AMI can't find anyone to equal my enjoyment of Stephenson, Gibson, Sterling and Rucker. Though not necessarily as gritty, Varley can get me going. Steel Beach is my favorite and the Ophiuchi Hotline is 2nd. His older collections of short stories are great, Picnic on Nearside (also released as: The Barbie Doll Murders), Blue Champagne & The Persistence Of Vision are fun as well.

Sun, June 24, 2007 - 11:07 PMOh hey, Jim Munroe's "Everyone In Silico" is really good.
Sterling's Newer works, "The Zenith Angle" & "his collection of shorts "Visionary In Residence" are VERY good. I was really pleased to be tickled and stimulated as much if not more than with his previous work. I had the fortune to read "The Zenith Angle" while on a solo trip to Maui to take care of some business. I camped at Papalua every night there, reading on the shore. Not only was the setting beautiful, the book had me laughing out loud as well as jumping up and down with excitement from time to time. Damn good read. Thanks Bruce!
