Nope, but I've heard the name, so I'm gonna find it now

you might want to start your Stephenson journey with Snowcrash. Classic cyberpunk. or Cyptonomicon, which is highly relevant to our interests here on nostr and Bitcoin
Yeah, good advice. They were reading snowcrash in cornychat but I didn't want to jump into the middle of it. Which reminds me... I have a PDF of snowcrash...
i read it in like 1993 or something, i forget exactly
That was a good year. 96 too
Snowcrash forever changed my relationship with all media I consume. The big idea from that book really turned my early 20s world view on its head.
Definitely one of those ideas that I can never unlearn and never be the same person as before.
Highly recommend.
Excellent
what's the big idea there?
It is nearly a 1000 page book. No single nostr post could do it justice. Get reading or get listening to the audiobook.
Oh nice. Hefty books best books
I'll read it soon, then come back to continue this conversation! I did read his book "Fall; or, Dodge in Hell", and that gave me a perspective on social media that I felt was very relevant to nostr.
I wasn't sure which Stephenson book to jump into next, but now I'm settled on Snowcrash because I'm fascinated with the author's portrayal of media.
