@asteris i've read everything of his. Love the Baroque Trilogy. Lays out the framework of why we are where we are. -
@exiledsurfer heh, I know. But Interface, especially, is post-where America is now, in a sense. And kills it on the demographics cult -
@asteris totally. He's awesome. like i always say, we're living simultaneous utopias and dystopias. Interesting times. -
@exiledsurfer heh, here's my Goodreads shelf, fairly exhaustive http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/15056649-asteris-masouras … need to cut back on tweeting & find more power lit :) -
@asteris Add 'Shantaram' to that for something totally different & The Parrot's Theorem by Denis Guedj for a romping history of mathematics -
@exiledsurfer done; always in look out for well-written melanges of scifi & world/politics-savvy lit. eg. Lucius Shepard, Courtenay Grimwood

@exiledsurfer I need to double back & read the Diamond Age, and I've still to read Anathem and Reamde. But everything else was mind gravy -
