Pretty sad no one made a "tv" series out of most Neal Stephenson books. So much empty crap being made while this kind of material sits on the shelf untouched.

That said, it's good someone didn't wokified it and made "their own version loosely based on a NS book", which is real danger nowadays.

At that time it was on the cutting edge what was possible and before 100% uncanny valey CGI era started. So yep, kind of a special point in time.

Today no Neal Stephenson books are a huge challenge for filmakers technically IMO.

Thanks for a tip (I don't know him).

There are so many books that could be now easily filmed (Heinlein, Zelazny!...) . But honestly I'm glad current Hollywood is not touching them, not ruining another part of my childhood like they already did with so many others 😅

Some of the books are a bit old now, but they still hold for most part because of how consistent they are internally. Maybethe most dated is Snowcrash, but it's still fun and consistent world/story to dive into. If you are looking where to start, perhaps try Diamond Age or Cryptonomicon (not really a scifi, nor is it about any shitcoins). But I like all his stuff, so many interesting concepts.
