Bjarny,

Wow! Men Into Space brings back memories.

I had, just a bit before that, been bitten by the SciFi bug while reading Heinlein's Sixth Column. I then devoured A. E. Van Vogt.

Recently, I've been enthralled with the cyberpunk genre, specifically:

William Gibson, Neuromancer
Bruce Sterling, Islands On The Net
Neal Stephanson, Snow Crash

Al Hildenbrand
