Top 10 Geek Books of All Time

Some geeks, myself included, love to read. While reading non-fiction is pretty much a requirement to keep on top of the things I love, this list will be restricted to fiction. Also, my favorite genre is cyberpunk. This is definitely reflected in the list below, even though it also includes other sci-fi and fantasy. So, without further ado, here are 10 of my favorite books, in no particular order:

1. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams


2. Neuromancer by William Gibson


3. The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkein


4. The Shockwave Rider by John Brunner


5. Islands in the Net by Bruce Sterling


6. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick


7. Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson


8. Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card


9. Hammered by Elizabeth Bear


10. Old Man's War by John Scalzi

I know there are many more great fiction books out there, and these are just some of my favorites. Also, because I went with fiction only, I had to leave out some of my other favorites, such as Wil Wheaton’s Just a Geek.

I also know I’ve done this post before, but it went away when I purged the site of old content. Also, my tastes may have changed slightly since last time, so the list might be slightly different.
