This is because clearsighted analysis of what is necessary, and what is contingent, is the prime requisite.https://twitter.com/asteris/status/620750617406009344 …
@JayStephens Banks always made it hard for me to start on his stuff, then he passed away. Plenty good fare in recent decades, branch out :)

@asteris Have missed heaps recently. Good stuff I have caught: Rajaniemi (his econ is amazing!), Cixin Liu, Egan (The Clockwork Rocket) 1/2 -
@JayStephens ah, Quantum Thief too complicated, DNF for now; Egan I always liked but takes a lot of effort, Liu's in my next batch to read -
@asteris if you haven't read Naam's Nexus, you're in for a treat :) -
@JayStephens turns out I already had Nexus marked to read, I'll expedite :)

@asteris Project Ito, Claire North ("15 lives"),R.Naam,C.Doctorow,E.Cline. SF Tips always welcome - econ-focussed even better :) -
@JayStephens heh, deal, you've already given me a couple of authors I didn't know. Find me on Goodreads, if you're on there -
@asteris I joined http://librarything.com just b4 it went MySpace to Goodread's Facebook. Really need to switch. Sigh. -
@JayStephens got in on Goodreads before it was acquired by Amazon, did weeklong data entry to enter all my books, hefty chore indeed -
@asteris Wow. I just put 2 or 3 in when I have a few mins or when I buy books. Have almost got there. Enjoy!
