It's a good book, I'm suprised that it wasn't mandatory.

Thinking about that book reminded me of another that I was *forced* to read
but was later glad I did, 1984.

Isn't that the great-grandfather of Cyberpunk? It's got basically all the
required plot lines, it just lacks alot of the technology.

For all that F.451 lies in the same vein. Has anyone ever worked up a
genealogy of cyberpunk that doesn't start with or near Gibson?

Is this still OT?
