| Anagram 07/19/18 11:05:32 AM #10: | My favorite piece of literature is Paradise Lost, but if we're talking about genre fiction, then it's probably Snow Crash. Written in the late 80s by one of the few cyberpunk authors who actually understood how computers work, it predicts a ton of things that came true in the future, the most important being the internet (though the details are predictably wrong). As far as I'm concerned, Snow Crash is basically the end of cyberpunk. No one has ever so thoroughly created and destroyed the entire concept of a genre like Snow Crash does, to the point where it ruins further cyberpunk books for me. --- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.
