Started reading Techgnosis by Erick Davis again last night. (Even managed to pick up where I’d left off … over a year ago … the book is that dense) and it gave me some great ideas surrounding Technology/Mysticism that explain the common archtypes found in alot of the Cyperpunkish books I’ve read. Try reading both The Wonderland Gambit by Jack Chalker, and Donnerjack by Rodger Zelany. Both are amazing. In a similar vein is Lord of Light by Zelany (and probably stylistically closer to the Technological Sublime). I promise the posts full of literary techno-babble will be few and far between. (Least after I finish reading Techgnosis … until the consider yourself warned)
