First to recommend

The Diamond Age or A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer definitely deserves to be on any sci-fi or cyberpunk fiction fan's reading list! If you like American Gods by Neil Gaiman, you'll also like The Diamond Age.

Set in a futuristic Shanghai gone to hell to with blood exploding nano weapons and a Eurasian heroine, you can't go wrong!

DLP's recommendation

"The difference between stupid and intelligent people – and this is true whether or not they are well-educated – is that intelligent people can handle subtlety. They are not baffled by ambiguous or even contradictory situations—in fact, they expect them and are apt to become suspicious when things seem overly straightforward."

"Conformity and rebellion...both ways are simple-minded--they are only for people who cannot cope with contradiction and ambiguity."
