[Jack Heim]

I am a huge sci-fi fan too. When I was in college my nickname was Isaac 
because I was such a huge fan of Isaac Asimov.   Right now, I am working 
my way through the Hugo Award winners. I am currently on ""To Your 
Scattered Bodies Go" by Philip Jose Farmer. I will have to check out 
Neil Stephenson. I am not familiar with his work but according to what 
they say about him on wikipedia, he sounds exactly like my kind of 
author. I very much prefer technology based science fiction to the 
phantasy style science fiction.
