Thomas Pynchon has a new book, Shadow Ticket, that will be released in a week.
His last book, Bleeding Edge, was published over a decade ago.
For all my hackers out there, this one is not to be missed. He gets the culture correct, from the exploit cycle drops at blackhat and defcon, to a metal gear solid reference.
I still prefer Crying the Lot of 49 the best, but if you were part of early hacker culture especially, you should enjoy Bleeding Edge.
I wrote a Sestina, which is a kind of poem with rotating words, not unlike AES s-boxes, about it here.
