I just finished it and I began to read "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" and
Linux Quick Fix Notebook [amazon.com] from 2005, must be way outdated.

You certainly are in the high brow selection of what I'd suggest my peers would read. bravo.
i tried to get alexa to call me winston when at a friends house, and they (the friend and alexa) didn't understand and I felt foolish for some reason. it is hard to set an example using popular literature to demonstrate a societal ill when society is ignorant to such ills.
Well done. I read Dorian Grey a few years ago. I've been trying to tackle at least a couple of the classics a year.
This year, I read the Art of Dumpster Diving, The Sixth Column, Candide, Snow Crash (again), The King in Yellow, and a handful of others. I recall there was a quite a few Lovecraft stories in there, but I don't recall which ones exactly. I know Charles Dexter Ward was in there. My dad keeps trying to get me into Turtledove, but I've never committed to it. I'd read more, but I tend to lose all track of time and will sit there reading until 7 am if I'm left to my own devices, so I wind up avoiding it for the most part, but I do enjoy reading quite a bit.
