Thanks to everyone who replied to my (vague) question. (And thank you =
all for not taking me to task for providing nearly no context for the =
question.  I intentionally wanted to leave it general to see what range
=
of responses I'd get.)  Every suggestion sounded great, so your replies
=
have proven most helpful.  Several books, in fact, were recommended by =
many people.  For list subscriber's edification, here is what I =
received:

R. Powers Gold-Bug Variations  (thrice recommended)
R. Powers Galatea 2.2 (thrice recommended)
U. Eco Name of the Rose
C. Harness The New Reality (a short story)
T. Stoppard Arcadia
M. Frayn Copenhagen (twice recommended)
A. Barrett Ship Fever and Other Stories (twice recommended)
K. Vonnegut Cat's Cradle
K. Vonnegut Player Piano
C. Djerassi Cantor's Dilemma
M. Piercy Woman on the Edge of Time (twice recommended)
E. Gaskell Cousin Phillis
E. Gaskell Mary Barton
I. Calvino Cosmicomics

And, I'm told that Greenwood Press is just about to publish an =
Encyclopedia of Literature and Science.  (publication date is apparently
=
this month)

Again, many thanks.
Ben
