Bryan was joking when he suggested this book, but I am declaring that it can be a winter book merely because of the title. This book was published in 1992, but I think I first read it when I was in college. It is reportedly the inspiration for and genesis of lots of technology concepts and words that are common today.

❤️ Seriously. "Metaverse" (as a coined term - William Gibson's Neuromancer had a very similar idea a decade earlier), robotic attack dogs, "mind virus", a floatilla of ships operating as an independent nation. Really interesting futurology.
