I finished the whole series (
Rendezvous with Rama,
Rama II,
Garden of Rama and
Rama Revealed) in 45 days. It's THAT good!
An incredible journey not only to outer space and the unknown, but also deep inside, a critic analysis of the very human nature, our fears and beliefs, the role of God, economics, society, and much more!
A really deep story, which gave me plenty to think about, not so much about the future, but about today, our world and my own introspection.
Now I started the Foundation series from Isaac Asimov. I read first and second books really fast, in a couple weeks... very interesting so far. Now I'm stuck trying to get the third book in spanish :S.
I can't stress enough how great
Neuromancer is. I read it twice in a month... it is THAT good.
The author,
William Gibson, wrote this book back in 1985, when there was no Internet, no virtual reality, no Matrix movie!! Yet, he is the father of the "cyberspace" word, you can recognize a yet-to-be-created virtual reality device that "transmits" not only images but the full 5 senses to the user (the simestim), and he even mentions (and gives birth to) the Matrix! Yes... exactly with that name...
A must-read for Matrix lovers, technology fans and those who wonder what the near future may look like....
