I can strongly recommend the Baroque Cycle which is a set of prequels for Cryptonomicon set in the 17th and early 18th centuries and Fall; or, Dodge in Hell which, while not a direct sequel, shares at least on character and the Waterhouse family foundation.
NB The audiobook versions of all of these are really good.
Edit: Jack Shaftoe is probably one of my favourite fictional characters...
- davidw 5y agoI've read the Baroque cycle. I meant more other authors. The reviews of Dodge in Hell were pretty bad - did you enjoy it?
- jpm_sd 5y agoDodge in Hell was really, really bad. Some of the IRL stuff was fun or interesting, but the interminable virtual world storyline was just unreadable.
- arethuza 5y agoWell, I liked it, but I also liked the final part of Seveneves... :-) Edit: I listened to the audiobook, which I think makes some books a bit more palatable.
- davidw 5y agoI liked the final third of Seveneves. The first 2/3rds were just a big downer, and I don't need that. I have https://www.washingtonpost.com/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/ for that.
