- benatkin 4y agoLong unsightly url after redirection but doesn't appear to be an affiliate link.
- jefftk 4y agoIf you want to make a short Amazon link manually the only thing you need is the /dp/ID. So in this case, https://amazon.com/dp/B00005NZJA https://amazon.com/dp/B00005NZJA
- lamontcg 4y agoWhat does dp stand for these days? Think those URLs used to be gp for gurupa.
- benatkin 4y agoThat isn't shorter though because it doesn't have a.co - and it doesn't look like it works like the google one did or does, or the github one used to work I think the tool used to get the a.co put the ref= there and there probably isn't a way to turn it off because it's just a simple thing like copying the link.
- lasereyes136 4y agoCorrect, not an affiliate link, just the share link Amazon has on the page.

- flandish 4y agoIs that a good read? I liked Quicksilver.
- teachrdan 4y agoI loved it. I think it's probably Stephenson's best novel, before he went off the rails with books unreadably long to anyone but his most devoted followers. And I say this as someone who also read Zodiac, Diamond Age, and Cryptonomicon.
- flandish 4y agoOhh I did read Cryptomomicon too. Forgot that one. I’ll give it a shot. Thanks!
- karmelapple 4y agoIs Diamond Age considered unreadably long? Because gosh did I like it, but it did seem long-ish.
- teachrdan 4y agoNot too long to read. But too long to read and enjoy imo. I think all his books post-Snow Crash could be 30% shorter and would then be about 75% better.
