Ubik, Philip K. Dick - Another great Dick novel, seriously mind bending and very clever.
Only Forward, Michael Marshall Smith - Fantasy/Sci Fi hybrid, jumping from a frightening cyber punk style future, to a land of dreams and nightmares. Very clever indeed and unique to me as one that encompasses these two genres so well.

well, that's what I meant, it was a very materialistic and shallow culture, which the narrator lapped up.
I'll look out for those books you mentioned, I'm always keen to sample new authors.
Edit:
This post has inspired me to finish off the amazon list I started about twenty years ago.
Starmaker is nothing short of breathtaking, and I don't use that word very often. It takes some reading though - a lot of it is so indepth you'll find yourself re-reading passages just to make it sink in properly. If you like that one, get Last and First Men aswell.
I've just finished reading I am Legend for the 3rd time. It's a great book, and it deserved a great film representation. sadly it only got 'the omega man' which is absolute toss.
