Altered Carbon (Takeshi Kovacs Novels)
3.  Altered Carbon (Takeshi Kovacs Novels) by Richard K. Morgan

The Diamond Age: Or, a Young Lady's Illustrated Primer (Bantam Spectra Book)
5.  The Diamond Age: Or, a Young Lady's Illustrated Primer (Bantam Spectra Book) by Neal Stephenson
The list author says:
  "Stephenson is in a league of his own.  All though he stalled out a little with his Baroque series, and he can be a little wordy at times, I loved reading Snow Crash, Zodiac and The Diamond Age."
$12.80   Used & New from: $0.18
4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (452 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Thirteen
6.  Thirteen by Richard K. Morgan

  "Another great by Richard Morgan.  Thirteen takes on a life of its own and has many nuances that make this just as good if not better than the Kovacs novels.  I wish he would write more books about Variant Thirteens."

3.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (112 customer reviews) | 2 customer discussions

Foundation
