So, I have a glass of my favorite Dornfelder Red Wine. Very sweet, and smooth. Plus I'm reading Mark Russinovich's "Zero Day" book...

Gotta say for myself... while the theme and story is very compelling and scary, the execution reads like a buzzword filled book to show off that he's passed his "Certified Ethical Hacker" exam. Lots of explanations of terms and techno babble. While it actually does make sense, it comes off as way too preachy.. I'm about 70% done, but honestly, not sure if I"ll read the sequels... The dialogue and characters are just so cliche and stiff, it's hard to read without chuckling for the wrong reasons..
Anyone else read this or similar techno "cyber" thrillers?
What are you all reading/drinking on this chilly Sunday night?

Does Gibson count as a 'cyberthriller'? I'm reading his 'Idoru' right now with an eye to getting onto his real-world stuff afterward. And it's Monday afternoon here in China and I'm enjoying a pint of Carlsberg at an expat pub and reading 'A Brief History of Seven Killings'. So far all the hype seems justified. It's fucking big, though, and I'm not sure how it will sustain itself for that long.

the gibson cyberpunk is the sprawl trilogy and some of his short stories, most of what he wrote afterward is exactly that thrillers.
