Difficult to pick just one, but I will go with The Stainless Steel Rat. It was a great introduction to the idea that society's rules don't always make sense. I haven't read it since I was in grade school, so I don't know if anyone older would enjoy it. But it definitely planted the seeds of anarchism, hacking, punk, and not taking rules too seriously.

Yes, us olds would, and did, enjoy it. I Was in my early 30's when I read them.

Now I'm getting nostalgic and need to go back and read them. Tsundoku is such a bad/good/fun addiction...


I think I'm going to dig out my copies too. Enjoy!
