Much of Neal Stephenson's work provides me inspiration, similar to William Gibson's work. It envisions future tech/life that stirs me to see if I can create some of it.
- simonbarker87 7y agoI’ve loved every book of his I’ve read. SevenEves is my favourite book of any I’ve read (I actually loved part 3) but for a series nothing beats the Baroque Cycle
- rsync 7y agoHe is, perhaps, my favorite contemporary author. I have a fairly predictable "best novels ever written" list which includes _War and Peace_, _Anna Karinina_, _Brothers Karamazov_ and _Dune_ ... but I would also place _SevenEves_ on that list. I found _Fall Or: Dodge in Hell_ to be terrible, however.
- atlasunshrugged 7y agoI also didn't love Fall Or: Dodge in Hell as a book, but found the concepts within it interesting (especially around the media curation each person has as I'm advising a startup that monitors disinformation campaigns)
- The_Colonel 7y agoI kind of fell in love with the Anathem's monastic world. Stephenson is awesome, I love some of his books, but others are for completely lost on me.
- AlexCoventry 7y agoI loved Anathem, too, though I've only read it once (several books of his I've read many times.)
