Stephenson's meshing of history and sci fi future, along with the genius plot kept me riveted. After that, tried to read Snow Crash and couldn't get into it, don't know why. Later, I got halfway through Quicksilver and loved it...but couldn't get into the second half after the storyline shifts. No question--the man is a terrific writer.

I love Diamond Age even better. You will too - it's got princesses, Victorian costumes and more! I love Snow Crash for many reasons.

Every now and then I use http://speedtest.net to make sure we get what we pay for. Two 2 years ago with a copper DSL rated 12 Mbps (megabit per second), about 1/2 mile from the next station we got through about 8 Mbps, at most, that is about 800 kBps (kilobytes per second). These days, with fiber to the home I recently installed a WiFi access point rated 54 Mbps and get through about 22 Mbps.

My favorite Stephenson, though, is Cryptonomicon. It's even geekier and funnier than Snow Crash, if you can believe it. And The Diamond Age is just sweet. I had a lot of trouble with the Baroque Cycle. It's incredibly dense, and does to economics what Snow Crash does with virtual reality and linguistics - and I just don't grok economics. I've heard good things about his newest, Anathem, but haven't read it yet. I love Snow Crash.
