I usually read nonfiction, but I'm really getting into sci-fi now. Any other
science fiction recommendations?

I really liked "Snow Crash," but cared less for "Neuromancer" (anyone else
disappointed?). "True Names" was OK. Right now I'm reading "Burning Chrome,"
which is OK and I just bought some Heinlein books.

"The Silicon Man," "The Probability Broach," and "Orwell's Revenge" (tho'
not exactly sci-fi) sound good. Suggestions?

Thanks.
