I almost went with Steel Beach, but went with the Golden Globe instead. Varley just gets better with every novel! Other fallbacks of mine include: anything by Gene Wolfe Heavy Weather by Bruce Sterling Most of Vernor Vinge's novels Excession by Ian Banks Walter Jon William's best novels, like Aristoi At about 5am this morning I stumbled to my bookshelves when I couldn't get to sleep.
