'Neuromancer' (William Gibson) is fast paced, some people don't like
that.  'Snow Crash' (Neal Stephenson) was a good read, just finished
'The Diamond Age' (also Neal Stephenson) which presents some interesting
ideas of nano-technology.  Probably going to read the Ringworld books
next (Larry Niven).
