A friend made me aware of a reading list from A16Z containg recommendations for books, weighted towards science fiction since that’s mostly what people there read.
I used to be a cyberpunk fan when i was a teenager (i grew out of it as an adult.) and every time i hear these tech bros talk about one of these novels i get the feeling they don’t have very good reading comprehension or that they didn’t read it at all. Worse of all the seem very enthusiastic about recreating the distopias depicted. Or what their lizard brains retained of the distopias depicted.
