Top 20 Geek Novels!

Posted earlier this month at The Guardian UK's Tech blog. Interesting. I'd probably put this in a different order, but the only author that I think should have made the cut is Greg Egan. How could geeks not love his stuff?

And it was cool to see The Watchmen make the list!

2. Nineteen Eighty-Four -- George Orwell 79% (92)
3. Brave New World -- Aldous Huxley 69% (77)
4. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? -- Philip Dick 64% (67)
5. Neuromancer -- William Gibson 59% (66)
6. Dune -- Frank Herbert 53% (54)
7. I, Robot -- Isaac Asimov 52% (54)
8. Foundation -- Isaac Asimov 47% (47)
