Top 20 Geek Novels

It looks like the Guardian took a poll on the top Geek novels.  I don’t have much of a depth of geek novels.  I love the works of William Gibson, but I’ve never read Hitchhiker’s Guide or Dune or 1984, though I own 1984.

It seems like, in the context of the poll results, “geek” was made to mean “sci-fi”.  I would think that Lord of the Rings would have been a top pick, but that’s a fantasy book.  I’m sure the Star Wars books are big, too, but I think they only wanted to count stand-alone novels.

Could I even do 20 geek novels?  Certainly Neuromancer and Mona Lisa Overdrive.  The Incident could be considered a geek novel.  Hmm… I’ll have to look that up when I get home.
