REAMDE's ending with those gun-preppers orgasming over the idea of finally getting an excuse for hunting human did it for me. Stephenson nerding out about that subculture is a thing I can't unsee, now it colors my perception of even his most liberal-leaning writings.
- FrustratedMonky 3y agoIn a good or bad way? Like now you notice it more in other writings of his? There was a few pages like this in Snow Crash, and I remember breezing past it, but then re-reading it years later, could see the common thread. But all in all. His take on that culture seems accurate. Not exaggerated that much for satire.
- usrusr 3y agoIn a very bad way. I suspect that I'm really not doing him justice because he's probably not all too fond of any of the subcultures be portraits, but I can't completely shake off that change in perception.
