Its on my must-read list. You must have missed Stephenson's "Snowcrash", a classic of the technopunk/cyberpunk genre... I have a copy & have read it twice. I like it a lot, but it is very largely ground-based: there's very little aerospace in any Stevenson. Not really even in Cryptonomicon or Anathem. His stuff doesn't have the aviation and space related overtones of the Burning Chrome/Count Zero/ Mona Lisa Overdrive era Gibson - but then again nor does any of the more recent Gibson either. Maybe its time I read some more Iain M Banks? -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |
