"Press [ENTER]" is one of my favourite books.
I picked it up one day with the intent to just read the first paragraph to see what it was about. 3-4 hours letter I had finished the book without realising.
This happened again, twice. Such a good book.
May he rest in peace.
- bathtub365 10mo agoWouldn’t reading the synopsis be a better way of discovering what a book is about than buying it and reading the first paragraph?
- ghaff 10mo agoNovella actually :-) Very good story. Published at about the same time as Vernor Vinge's True Names, which while quite different explored some of the same proto-Internet themes.
- mikestorrent 10mo agoThis story has been somewhere in the back of my head forgotten for decades. Thank you so much for the reminder, I'm going to re-read it. Kluge!!
- mikestorrent 10mo agoAnd I just finished it... "Do you think it could come through the pipes?" Such a good story. A little spicier than I had remembered. Thanks again for the reminder. It holds up surprisingly well on the technology front.
