Try the rest only if you LOVE the original). by Heinlein, hmmmmm, for computerists, my favorite is The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, and of course there's always Stranger in a Strange Land (his more recent stuff gets weird, and repetitititive) Ringworld, by Niven (and if you're hooked Ringworld Engineer) Louis Wu, the protagonist is in lots of his other stories, too. Luicifer's Hammer, by Niven and Pournelle (This recent pairing has several other good ones, this is the best, so far) Babel-17, Delany -- another good one for computers-in-SF lovers Well, that ought to get you (and the net) started.
