Gibson's master piece, Neuromancer, effectively created the Cyberpunk genre. Terms such as 'The Matrix', and Cyberspace originated here. It is also one of the most decorated books in all SciFi. A must read for anyone interested in technology, hacking or just an amazingly prescient view of the future. read review

Stuff White People Like - now in book form!

4 years ago

I'm a huge fan of the blog http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com/. At the time of writing the author, Christian Lander, is already at #97, and climbing.

He's also snagged a book deal, with his first collection of hillarious stuff white people like coming out August 12th.

Check it out. view post

Notes

Word Taster says:

Yes, Gibson was/is genre defining. I remember reading Dogfight in Omni when I was a teen (sometime in the mid 18th century - I can time travel) and thinking, "this isn't my Dad's Heinlein." Have you ever read any W.T. Quick, Cory Doctorow, Neal Stephenson (In the Beginning, There Was the Command Line)?

Can dystechlexics*/non-Indigo employees join the Indigo Community Developer's Group just to bug you guys about site function issues directly? :)
