Loki:
*reads plot summary* this books sounds like it would please my inner outer geek.
J:
you'd call yourself a geek without having read snowcrash? isn't that illegal under the geek charter or something? you might be subject to some harsh censure if you don't correct that oversight. i think there's a pretty steep fine.

Ah, see, there's your mistake. Each socium has different laws on geekery. Where I am from, you are pretty much a geek if you use words like "isomorphic" and "disjoint" in everyday speech. Which I do.
GarandMarine:
Snow Crash and Neuromancer should still be mandatory reading.

I have not read them yet (mostly due to extensive synopsis and TVTropes exposure making it less than urgent even though they're on my shelf), but knowledge of them at least is nearly mandatory. It's like loving fantasy and not knowing about Lord of the Rings. Movies and not knowing of Citizen Kane. They are part of the bedrock of our cyber world. Loki, you may not need to hand in your card, but you are hereby assigned remedial geek history lessons and some other tasks I can't think of right now.
