Hadn't read the DA yet Larry Send a noteboard - 29/09/2009 11:25:19 PM
Hmm. I thought Snow Crash was more or less a failed book. But why not the Diamond Age? I do personally love the Cryptonomicon book, though, but it is probably my war interest...

Cryptonomicon isn't exactly the book I'd use to introduce someone to Stephenson, plus I liked the humor in Snow Crash just a bit more.
