Re: Will the almighty Wu reply? Just curious...

In Response To: Re: Will the almighty Wu reply? Just curious... (Louis Wu)

: Oh, man... your cyberpunk cred just went down the toilet. :(

: Count Zero was the second in William Gibson's Sprawl trilogy. (The third book
: was Mona Lisa Overdrive.)

: These should be required reading for anyone who spends as much time on
: computers as the regulars of this forum.

Oh man. Crap, I had a cyberpunk cred to live up to? When did I miss THAT memo?

Louis, a lot of my Sci-Fi reading has been what I pick up what to (and not to) read from this forum. Rewind almost three years for an early example of how HBO influenced my leisure reading during high school. Might I say that I bought all three of the Vang books, as well as Larry Niven's Ringworld. I'll be getting the later books ultimately, but I don't know how much inspiration Bungie drew from the later Ringworld books.

See, HBO gives me a cyberpunk cred (for me to try, and often fail to live up to) by letting me lurk around and contribute and painfully show how... out of date my required reading is. :)

I will place an order for all three of these books by this weekend. Thanks, Louis. I've actually been needing new reading desperately.
