It's fun to respond to the third post of a six-page thread! I'm a huge Neal Stephenson fan. I remember liking The Diamond Age, but not nearly as much as Snow Crash, which is quite possibly still my favorite novel of all time. His Cryptonomicon is also quite good (and quite long). I haven't read any of the Baroque Cycle yet, though I plan to eventually.

How has this thread progressed this far with no mention of Gabriel Garcia Marquez? Seriously.

I like Snow Crash a lot, but it's the fantasy undertones (and nanotechnology - which is just freaking COOL, man) that gets me about Diamond Age.

Neal Stephenson really is the man.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez is actually incredible, too.
