Great video! I’ve never read anything by Stephenson but you’ve inspired me once again to try something new. Thank you!

I really enjoyed the Diamond Age but I actually wept when frah Orolo inscribed the analemma. Anathem it's about intellectual cloisters in the procession of better worlds. A great book. Totally hooked on Stephenson. I read this one right before I read Hesse's Glass Bead Game. I found them both in the corner library box and I was staggered that they were both about intellectual cloisters. The Glass Bead Game is a far future history.

Happy to see the baroque cycle getting love. I feel like it's not talked about as much as some of his others.

The only book I have read so far is Snow Crash. He is my husband's favorite author. I bought myself Quicksilver. My husband has Reamde and Criptonomicon that I can check out as well.

Just started my Neal Stephenson adventure! Read snowcrash first, which I thought was okay but I have the baroque cycle and Cryptonomicon already lined up. Think I'll start with that one before diving into the Baroque books.

Snow Crash is the #1 cyberpunk novel [take that, Gibson!], especially my boi rat thing [take that, Oy!] however on a reread I'll definitely do the Sumerian skip-a-roo-ski. 🤪

I had wanted to read Neal Stephenson for decades. I finally read and finished Snow Crash exactly 1 year ago, and I mostly hated it, especially the writing and story. I really want to find a great cyberpunk novel. Any suggestions that are not Stephenson or Gibson?

@@civoreb I've had my eye on that one since the 1st book came out. I even refrained from watching the TV show. I want to find something that includes 'high tech' (Neuromancer is usually the book people think of). I love low tech, sort of cyberpunk, by authors like Philip K Dick or Alfred Bester.

Why do you call it "Cryptonomicron" though? I don't mean to be an ass, but I find it weird that you don't know the name of supposedly one of your favourite books of all time (in which the word is spelled out probably a hundred times), *and* you're repeatedly staring right at it while saying it. 🤷♂

Global warming. Ugh. Nothing could get me to read any book pertaining to it. Laughable. Have yet to read any of his because look overly wordy and descriptive, which I despise, but a couple sound intriguing enough to maybe try if I could get a Kindle $1.99 deal sort of thing.
