Literally Geeky discussion

I haven't read Ready Player One yet. I can't help but think of other books where being stuck online or spending time in a virtual world is key.

The one that comes to mind first, I also highly recommend. Take the time to read all of the epic tomes by Tad Williams that make up Otherland. The City of Golden Shadow was published in 1996 when the internet was still young. Williams was able to extrapolate a believable future both online and offline.

Ooooh good topic!

It's an area where I immediately thought that films may have the edge - but that's my cognitive bias: I watch more sci-fi than read it.

I'm wrong though. There's We Can Remember it For You Wholesale; who can't resist a bit of Dick? No me. Also I keep meaning to read the Neuromancer, one day, one day.

Just read Necromancer Ez (and the next 2 in the trilogy), you won't regret it. Also, how long have you been dying to use that Dick joke...?

About *this* long.

*smirks*

Shut up, I've had wine. Well, no, not wine because I drank all the wine, but I found something sticky and cherry flavoured at the back of the bar.
