Gollancz Future Classics

Niall is talking about Gollancz's Future Classics series at Torque Control, and rounds up the links and discussions. He also, finally, comes to the conclusion that Fairlyland by Paul McAuley is stunning. Which is good, because it is.

The Gollancz website seems mysteriously quiet on the subject, so I nicked the list from UK SF Book News [1]:

• Evolution by Stephen Baxter
• Blood Music by Greg Bear
• Schild's Ladder by Greg Egan
• Fairyland by Paul J. McAuley
• Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan
• The Separation by Christopher Priest
• Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds
• Hyperion by Dan Simmons

Two I've read, two sitting on the shelf waiting for me, two that are so thick they put me off, one which I really want to get and one which I'm indifferent about because of a bad experience with a previous book by the author.
