Dune, A serie of 6 books by Frank Herbert.
The books are much better then the movie..
Genre is Science Fiction & Fantasy
but
you can't compare it with anything.
_Really_ worth reading!
Quote: Litany against fear:
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total
obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass
over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the
inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

Neuromancer by William Gibson
William Gibson, the inventer of the genre called
cyberpunk.
A future world full of technology and multinationals.
Huge differences between rich and poor. A
lot of futuristic
technology and drugs.
Quote:
Booths lined a central hall. The clientele
were young,
few of them out of their teens. They all seemed
to have carbon
sockets planted behind the left ear... The
counters that fronted the
booths displayed hundreds of slivers of microsoft,
angular iragments
of colored silicon mounted under oblong transparent
bubbles on
squares of white cardboard. Molly went to
the seventh booth along the
south wall. Behind the counter a boy with
a shaven head stared vacantly
into space, a dozen spikes of microsoft protruding
from the
socket behind his ear.
