- | * [[wp>Schild's Ladder]] by [[wp>Greg Egan]] | + | |
- | * [[wp>Lord of Light]] by [[wp>Roger Zelazny]] - Listening to this on audio book while I do stuff around the flat. It's interesting, the prose is quite flowery though. | + | * [[wp>Burning Chrome]] by [[wp>William Gibson]] - Reading this for a bookgroup, I'd read it before, but enjoying it. Looking for some inspiration around VR worlds/games. |
- | * [[wp>The Saints of Salvation]] by [[wp>Peter F Hamilton]] | + | * [[wp>Agency]] by [[wp>William Gibson]] - Continuing the series while enjoying the TV show. |
+ | * [[wp>Startide Rising]] by [[wp>David Brin]] - Audiobook in the background while I do some tasks. Some interesting ideas so far. | ||
* [[wp>Rapture of the Nerds|Rapture of the Nerds: A tale of the singularity, posthumanity, and awkward social situations]] by [[wp>Cory Doctorow]] and [[wp>Charles Stross]] - I could almost have guessed the authors of this book just by reading the first couple of chapters. It's exactly what I expected/was hoping for. Not sure I'd be able to recommend it to any one but the hardcore fans of both though (it's not their most accessible work). Enjoying it so far. | * [[wp>Rapture of the Nerds|Rapture of the Nerds: A tale of the singularity, posthumanity, and awkward social situations]] by [[wp>Cory Doctorow]] and [[wp>Charles Stross]] - I could almost have guessed the authors of this book just by reading the first couple of chapters.

* [[wp>Burning Chrome]] by [[wp>William Gibson]] - I was particularly interested in reading one of the short stories, Hinterlands, recommened on a reddit thread somewhere but I'd been planning on reading more of William Gibson so this seemed like a good place to start/continue. | * [[wp>Burning Chrome]] by [[wp>William Gibson]] - I was particularly interested in reading one of the short stories, Hinterlands, recommened on a reddit thread somewhere but I'd been planning on reading more of William Gibson so this seemed like a good place to start/continue. |
