- Alex63 17y agoI like Stephenson's distinction as well, but have often found it difficult to get other people to understand it. Regardless, thanks for posting the link. It prompted me to buy a first edition of The Diamond Age to replace my exceedingly battered paperback. The Kindle edition would probably be more practical, but it's a book that belongs on a bookshelf!
