Haven’t read it. The man can’t end a story to save his life and his prose is pretty basic, but damn does he have some good lines. He’s got this genuine enthusiasm for everything he’s saying, especially when he wants to bring in a new concept, and that gets me hooked every time. You can tell he loves his characters.

Looks like somebody has read Anathem.
I love that book.
Every word Neal Stephenson ever wrote is fucking classic
Except The Big U , that was tripe

Snow Crash is a genre-defining classic.
And yet I will never forgive him for “Hiro Protagonist”
I loved that. I just assumed that was his IRL gamer tag.
I vehemently disagree with many worlds theory. I think its a total mindfuck. However I do think that the future influences the present and the past.
