    Just a term thrown around for anything with cyberpunk aspects but not exactly the same.

    can't remember the last time I read a book in one day. not quite one sitting, because I had to stop and make supper for me and the kids, but I finished it right after.
    enjoyed the hell out of it. can't say I fully understood it, but it was a fun, wild ride.

    Daniel Suarez's Daemon/Freedom duology
    William Gibson's Blue Ant trilogy
    Ramez Naam's Nexus trilogy

  14. I read the original Antimemetics division on SCP and it still stuck with me. One of the best examples I can think of of just fully going for an extremely ambitious sci fi premise, and it landed pretty great if not perfectly

    I didn't know about SCP until after I finished this and started reading about it, and I read a few times that the author made some changes between the earlier version and what was ultimately published as a book, but I have no idea what those changes were
     
  17. my understanding is mostly things to avoid overlapping with SCP copyright

    Have a couple of those on my to-read list. Wolf Worm was really solid.
