Hi, dos you read It? Do you have an opinión?

No I just saw it was released on Amazon

Apart from the cryptonomicon that I read recently, what would you recommend?

Diamond Age is my favorite. He paints a picture of a post-cyberpunk future where nation states have been replaced by voluntary borderless collective organizations. There is, of course, fantastic technology interweaved with an epic battle over the future of civilization.

But the best part of the book is his detailed description of a private anonymous universal mesh-net that replaces the internet as we know it. Inspiring stuff. I think we're a lot closer than you might expect. 😉

Thanks! Noted!

Sounds awesome

Snow Crash for sure

Noted!

Wat?! Wtf no way. Cowboy anarchists, love this description.

I don't find his female characters very compelling so I have my doubts about a lead communist, but maybe it'll be good.

Have you read Seveneves? Someone called out his female characters at a talk or something and he decided they had a point. It's really good!

I haven't yet

Oooh! Will have to check out

Had to Google him, will checkout, for sure!

I have enjoyed his works. Especially Cryptonomicon, Snow Crash, Reamde, and Fall
