Hear, hear. The Diamond Age is probably my favourite:
The Diamond Age +++
Snow Crash ++
Quicksilver/The Confusion/The System of the World ++ (I think it makes sense to rate them as a series)

Fall, or Dodge in Hell: hate to admit it but I haven't read it yet. It's sitting right next to The Rise and Fall of DODO, which is also waiting to be read. And I should probably read Zodiac at some point, but it hasn't seemed urgent.
- arethuza 6y agoI'm not hugely fond of the earlier books but I loved Cryptonomicon and all of the later novels apart from Reamde - Fall, or Dodge in Hell is pretty good in my view and ties up some loose ends from earlier books in satisfying ways. I still think The Baroque Cycle would make a wonderful sprawling multi-series show (Jack Shaftoe being one of my favourite fictional characters).
- skilesare 6y agoIf you didn’t know....and I don’t want this to be a spoiler, but you figure it out in the first few pages...Fall is a direct and some what spiritual sequel to your two lowest rated....that being said it waves in a good bit of the snowcrash absurd stuff as well.
- cozuya 6y agoI roughly agree with your ratings and would rate Fall/Dodge in Hell at a ----.
- qzio 6y agoyeah, I too did not like Fall/Dodge in Hell. However, the first section, about internet hate/bot culture I liked.
