It's my favorite Stephenson novel, and he's written so many excellent books.
- kadoban 7y agoThat and Snow Crash are my go-tos of his. Diamond Age is slower and for me a lot of the plot and characters are less memorable, but the world, tech and ideas are amazing. Snow Crash is a force of nature. That manic, brilliant opening set up of the world, style and characters using the Deliverator blows my mind every time. Hard to believe it's even the same author.
