- pavel_lishin 12y agoI've had friends mention that they liked Neal Stephenson's "Cryptonomicon", except for the lengthy digressions into mathematics. One day, I'll get mad at them, and get revenge by suggesting an Egan novel.
- eli_gottlieb 12y agoThat's funny: the only thing I usually like about Neal Stephenson books are the digressions into nonfictional material. Everything else is just a needless exercise in people being shitty to one-another and Stephenson re-announcing his belief in '90s-era "hacker" ideologies.
