I would highly recommend throwing some Stephen Baxter on there, especially "Light of Latter Days" (a collaboration with Arthur C. Clarke). Its examination of the death of privacy in the face of increasingly intrusive technology developments is absolutely fascinating and has some exciting parallels with the modern world.
- wicknicks 14y agoDid you mean the "Light of Other Days"? Fascinating list, I just finished reading Anathem by Neal Stephenson. Quite an epic. Everyone I know who has read it says that Cryptonomicon is a better book by Neal. Looking fwd to getting it!
- geuis 14y agoYup, Other Days. Crypto is a great book. Not really better, just different. I'd also recommend Reamde very highly. More modern, action thriller but definitely a Stephenson novel.
- fogus 14y agoCryptonomicon is one of my favorite books and recommend it highly. I felt less thrilled by Anathem however. I absolutely loved the first ~200 pages, but was disappointed by the rest.
