Ask HN: Sci-Fi Books for Hackers?

-Dune

still a very enjoyable/amusing read

I especially recommend Cryptonomicon if you want some pseudocode.

-Neuromancer

A Fire Upon the Deep, by Vernor Vinge. It's all about the nature of computation vs thought, usenet, and truly evocative aliens. Not much actual code though.

-The Book Of The New Sun

-Hyperion + The Fall of Hyperion

If you want to go old school, Rendezvous With Rama is great.

The Culture Series (meh..)

The Reality Dysfunction (Peter Hamilton)

-The Demolished Man

I recently read Rule 34 by HNer Charles Stross. I liked it a lot.
