Ah, this was a good reminder that I need to read more John Brunner. So far
I've only read Stand on Zanzibar. I don't remember it well enough to
comment on it.

I've read almost all of the other books mentioned by these authors. David
Brin, whose books I've enjoyed very much, mentioned a couple I've not
tried, although I've certainly heard of Dragon's Egg.

As for which imaginary world I'd like to actually spend time in (as opposed
to reading about), I'd have to think about that. It would have to be a
world that's interesting but also has inhabitants who are overall decent
beings. Gotta get to work now, though, so - any suggestions from you all?
