OK, since I like to write, have more so lately, have started a newsletter before and was planning to start a similar one soon, I'll bite. Except if Poe's law comes bite me and it wasn't in earnest (checked your comment history and you don't seem to make trashy comments like me), what'd you like to read about in this style? Technology, technological change, society, languages, editors, open source? What periodicity would work for you? Also I'll go finally read Snow Crash already (started once.)
- Cogito 8y agoJust finished Snow Crash! It's really good; as I was reading it I would stop and check the date it was authored. It holds up very well.
- acjohnson55 8y agoSnow Crash is great. I actually just finished Zodiac yesterday and only realized after the fact that it's 30 years old. I'm starting Seveneves now, and it's already blowing my mind.
- Cogito 8y agoI've been meaning to read a number of different things, many from friends I've convinced to jot down in my reading suggestions spreadsheet. It took a new local library opening up, and a holiday, for me to finally get to Snow Crash. I suspect I might be reading a few more of his works very soon. I don't think I've read any of the others, though I may have started Seveneves at some point, but I did read "The rise and fall of D.O.D.O." (just before Snow Crash in fact!) which I highly highly recommend as well.
- Jaruzel 8y agoRead 'The Diamond Age'. Personally I think it's the best of his books.
- borgel 8y agoAgreed. Also Anathem is fantastic.
- rocky1138 8y agoAnything tech. Your writing style matches very well with things that are frustrating, meaning I think lighthearted rants might be hilarious to read.
- goldfeld 8y agoYes, my life as a programmer has been in horrible frustration with human-computer interfaces. Thanks by the way!
