So I read this book a while ago. A year or so I think. Single Combat I beleive was the title, but I can't find the book to be sure. Anyway, I recentyl replayed Deus Ex, and the whole time I kept thinking that this seemed very familiar. (And it wasn't because I'd played the game before. Yeah, I heard you thinking.) Well eventually it hit me. That book and Deus Ex have a hell of a lot in common. The more I think about it the scarier it is. It kinda makes me think the designers may have based it on parts of that book.

The Illuminatus Trilogy is quite fun.:cheeky:

Mr. Gibson, anyone?
(Well, they're actually pretty disimiliar. But they share a few themes)

Bradburys Farenhiet 451 and of course Orwells 1984 are similar cautionary tales, but then you knew that didn't you big brother. You were, afterall, watching.:wot:

Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum is a bit deusexy, too. A bit. A very good read, though, if you can cope with some of Eco's writing habits.

According to the info I found, Single Combat is a sequel to a book called Systemic Shock! Talk about freaky coincidences... or is it a conspiracy? :erm:
