#WritersCoffeeClub 10/27. Recommend a book that had an impact on your prose.

"Schismatrix" by @bruces —which I encountered aged 22 and which peeled my eyes open and forced me to see how much *bigger* SF could be than I'd previously imagined: in retrospect, that short novel marked the start of the New Space Opera, so it wasn't trivial, but still, journeyman work that spoke to someone barely more than a kid who was still on the starting blocks.

("Catch 22" would be a close second.)
