 | 1984 Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell

 | The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory by Brian Greene

|
 | Neuromancer by William Gibson
Buy new: £5.89 / Used from: £0.40 An obvious inspiration to the Matrix films, and much darker to boot. Abstract enough in parts to require multiple re-reading. Absorbing and brilliant.

 | Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?: The novel which became 'Blade Runner' (S.F. Masterworks) by Philip K. Dick
Buy new: £4.83 / Used from: £2.18 Couldn't put it down, read it in a single day. Not that much like blade runner though. Entralling and philosophically challenging. Nearly cried when I heard about the goat.
