Here’s an unrelated little afterthought of a question that’s been nagging at me for a little while: I’m wondering whether y’all can help me compile a list of titles that might qualify as cyberpunk fiction for YAs. Arguably, William Gibson can be considered a crossover author (I know I read a little of his stuff when I was in high school), but I’m also wondering about books written FOR young adults. One title I enjoyed (and still love) is Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson; and Tad Williams’ Otherland is a great trilogy along those lines as well; and perhaps M.T. Anderson’s Feed fits in this category. Any other ideas? If I get a decent list I’ll probably do a post about it at some point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
