I checked this out because the author of A Memory Called Empire said that it was one of her favorite books growing up, and I can definitely see its influence on her work. Moreover, it still feels contemporary even 30 years later. Political intrigue, exotic locales, and a massively popular cyberspace LARP - what's not to love? It would have been a great inspiration for a MU* back in its day.
