    I am enjoying Existence by @DavidBrin . I have read a lot of pulpy-fun fiction lately; this has a bit more meat on it.

        @ID_AA_Carmack PS… Occulus looks cool. In EARTH (1989) I predicted. Good luck. Maybe I can product-place Occulus. ;-)

        @DavidBrin the "false dawn" of VR in the 90s was disappointing to many, but it was too early. We are actually a bit "late" now.

      @ID_AA_Carmack @DavidBrin Brin, Benford, Bear. The three B's on the A-list. Without them it would be mainly trolls, dragons, and zombies.

      @ID_AA_Carmack I'm currently reading the Masters of Doom. I hear there's a bit of meat in that too

      @ID_AA_Carmack @DavidBrin surprisingly great book with well thought out rationale behind the events and the repercussions of technologies.

      @ID_AA_Carmack In 99 you said that A Deepness in the Sky was your favorite book. Still? Been looking for a book as imaginative as those two
