A Year in the Linear City (Good ending, very strange and original city but the affairs of the characters seem fairly mundane. A little slow. Many long words I wasn't sure if he was making up. Liked slang a lot.)
-
Firing the Cathedral (Normal Jerry Cornelius novel, meaning of couse that it made no sense but was still kind of fun. Great quotes.)
-
V.A.O. (Very cool and original. Old (as in senior citizens) hackers get revenge for being left behind and forgotten.)
-
The Tain (Strange, pretty cool, good ending but kind of confusing with some questions left unanswered. Cool concept from Borges.) (

)
