Not the best books you've ever read, but those that you return to most, that have kept a grip on you for years

The absolute state of /lit/. I guess this is the fruit of those recent reddit closures, no wonder there was an unironic Vonnegut thread earlier.

Starfish by Peter Watts

Something about dystopian settings and mentally broken characters is super fascinating. Easily my favorite female protagonist too.

Could not get 50 pages into this book. Gibson writes like a teenager who watched the Matrix for the first time.

You do know a lot of Cyber/dystopian movies pulls from Gibson's work...that's why it feels dated.

You'd enjoy Under the Skin (the book, not the dumbass film)
