I've actually never read any of his novels, but thoroughly enjoyed his column in Byte. What might be a good starting place with his books?

- mindcrime 9y agoThat's a good question. I've only read his non-fiction stuff myself. The books I feel like I've heard people talk about the most though, are a couple of the ones he wrote with Larry Niven: Inferno, Lucifer's Hammer, etc. I think I'll try to track those down and read them soon, as my little way of paying tribute to the man.
- Gibbon1 9y agoFuzzy brain. But I learned I think from one of his byte columns never to mix my business income and expenses with personal ones.
- zem 9y ago"a mote in god's eye", one of his many collaborations with larry niven, is excellent. "oath of fealty" is another good one that should appeal to the hackernews crowd.
- gypsydave5 9y agoAfter 20 years all I remember about `Mote` is the incessant conversations about tea and coffee...
- bigtunacan 9y agoLike other's have said; his collaborations with Niven are really great. Footfall, Lucifer's Hammer, and A Mote in God's Eye were my personal favorites.
