Hi There

Have read Neuromacer and Fire Upon the Deep.

Neuromancer was good, I read it quite recently it is a very strange book in the respect that it forcasted some things quite well and other's not quite so well.

Space exploration hasnt taken off like it was supposed to but the web has become while not quite as intrusive as pictured in the book, not far off it,also its getting more acurate by the year. More and more 24 hour news channels more and more channels full stop. A good book though.

A fire upon the deep was quite an interesting read too, caught it by chance in my local Library. Quite a heavy book but can see who influenced him!
