Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Every Tuesday they post a new Top Ten list prompt. This week’s list is a Freebie – whatever list you want! Because today is also the first ever National IT Professionals Day (and I just happen to BE an IT professional), I decided to use technology as the inspiration for my list. Here it is – my Top Ten Techno-thrillers. Some feature modern-day, “we’re-almost-there” technology, and a few are set farther into the future, but all are fast-moving, technology driven stories that I’ve enjoyed. Don’t forget to leave a link to your own post in the comments!

Snow Crash is one of my favorites! I listened to the audiobook production which was absolutely fantastic. 🙂

I’ve heard about techno-thrillers, but haven’t given them a lot of thought, but just by the titles and covers, they seem interesting! I know of Michael Crichton and I’ve seen Prey floating around, though can’t remember reviews.

I love most most of Michael Crichton’s books, but there are just a few (Next, and Micro) that I wouldn’t recommend – just not up to par with the others, IMHO! 🙂

This is a real interesting topic. I may have a slight (HUGE) obsession with Michael Crichton. I haven’t read Prey yet, but it’s on the list.

I’ve read JP & The Lost World, and Sphere. Any suggestions on where to go next?

I would say Congo, but maybe that’s because I read Sphere and Congo one right after the other, so I think of them together! Congo and Timeline were 2 of my favorites – Timeline is SO much better than the movie they made from it…

I had heard so much hype about Snow Crash, but when I read it I didn’t love it as much as I had expected to, which was a little disappointing. But I have Neuromancer on my TBR list for this fall. I’ve been promised I’ll definitely enjoy that one, so we’ll see!

Neuromancer is definitely in a class of its own – I hope you love it!

It was hard not to fill the list with just Lincoln Child, Douglas Preston, and James Rollins… 🙂
