I moved to the Bay in the summer of 2013 to work for a YC company. I read Dhalgren every night then. The way he weaves technology into the story is so different from other science fiction: incredibly light on exposition and origin, heavy emphasis on its performance. It is jarring at first but becomes very beautiful. I won't be the first or the last to say Dhalgren is uneven, but it's worth trying to finish a few times.
