Bruce Sterling recommends
Homunculus (1986) (Langdon St. Ives, book 1) James P Blaylock "A writer of great vigor, charm, and perception." | Mindplayers (1987) Pat Cadigan "Has a bite like a silk piranha." | White Queen (1991) (Aleutian, book 1) Gwyneth Jones "Thoroughly original, genuinely weird, and stuffed to bursting with deep-dyed genre virtue." |
Corrupting Dr Nice (1996) John Kessel "Kessel's darkly comic vision is wackily funny, brilliantly cruel, and joitingly powerful - like silly putty cut with high tech plastic explosives." | Demons (2000) John Shirley "John Shirley accomplishes things that most writers would not dare to attempt." | Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom (2003) Cory Doctorow "He sparkles! He fizzes! He does backflips and breaks the furniture. Science Fiction needs Cory Doctorow." |
