Finally finished reading Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash. What a fucking trip. After reading Neuromancer last year, I’m planning to do my “first in a decade” reread of Vurt to complete the cyberpunk holy trinity. Books are so fucking rad.

you've also read Terra Ignota and the Commonweal books! Hello! Know anything else that you'd fit into that category?
Hello! What a delightful question.
Is the category defined by the quality of the worldbuilding, and how it supports the story while also interacting with notions of history and culture?
Is the category defined by being thrown into a complicated setting and having to figure things out from context?
Is the category defined by how different the stories are from basically anything you're going to encounter on a normal bookstore shelf?
Maybe a little of all three? Anyway, I'd recommend Carla Speed McNeil's FINDER, Hannu Rajaniemi's Jean le Flambeur Trilogy (Starts with The Quantum Thief), and Jeff Noon's Vurt in that order. That's one post-post-apocalyptic science fiction graphic novel series, a set of high concept science fiction heists with some really interesting future cultures (I think the Zoku and the Utopians have a lot in common), and the weirdest cyberpunk novel you may ever encounter. All of these are more like Terra Ignota than they're like the Commonweal books -- honestly, the closest thing to the Commonweal might be Ursula K. Le Guin's The Dispossessed, but also, that sort of depends what you're getting out of the Commonweal. If you're enjoying the social organization aspects, then Le Guin. If, alternatively, you're looking for something where a sorcerer will consider grabbing a bucket of Fluorite and casting Spell Of Dioxygen Difluoride, I recommend Worth The Candle.
"As far as love affairs go, though, Vurt isn’t exactly an easy novel to love. It’s not the novel you bring home to your parents for Sunday dinner; it’s the novel you climb out the window in the middle of the night to smoke cigarettes in the park with."
'Hey, are you drawing me again?...'
I drew most of it listening to Vurt. Not sure if it was the book that inspired the choice of medium, or the black paper that just wanted to be accompanied by a dark cyberpunk novel rather than the bright voices of Doctor and Charley.
The book is... ahem... interesting. The narration is OMG! (OMG = Oh, McGann?))) Much more swearing than I had expected - but I must say, I don't really mind with _this_ narration.

...a deadly yellow feather from an old Vurt fanfic of mine. A vurt virus capable of infecting reality & erasing its victims (it is a painful process), leaving only ‘ghostprints’ behind.
