One of my favorite reads, and consequently, favorite listens in audio format. Possibly the best audio book ever. It is so stuffed with a mingling of realism and satire that there is literally never a dull moment.

Any other fans?

Love it. Plus Diamond Age and a lot of his other books. Snow Crash is probably my favorite

Read it many years ago. I remember searching the internet to find a Fuck You Money calculator.

I've read and greatly enjoyed a lot of Neal Stephenson's books but had a hard time getting into Cryptonomicon and the Baroque Cycle and never finished them. Maybe it's time to give them another go.

This is one of the ones I'll reread every so often. Does make you wonder how books like this aren't quickly into film production when some of the things that come out of Hollywood defy logic...
