>Pic related, shit was so crash

Fix'd

Also, by now you should have read Neuromancer. I suggest you continue with Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overrive.

same concept sort of, but multiplied a million times and awesome.

The difference engine is more of a steampunk novel and if you can handle the slow pace its good. The other book I'd deffinetly reccomend is Neal Stephenson's "The Diamond Age" Most excelent sorta has a similar feel as snow crash (my all time favorite book) so you should like it. It's about nano tech in the future according to neal stephenson.

Definitely give Neuromancer a read. It is a bit dated, but the idea of "console cowboys" poppin' in cassette tapes and flying around cyberspace has a quaint charm to it :3

As for a book recommendation, I vote for Altered Carbon. It's a great page-turner and has an awesome story. It also does a good job of showing the implications of a neurological device that allows a persons mind to be stored, essentially putting an end to "death"

Snowcrash is by far the greatest work of hardfiction fantasy I have ever read. I love the concepts for the internet and the cookie cutter guns.

i love you guys

If you can find it, give the BBC radio production of Neuromancer a whirl. It's quite good.
