Any recommendations on what to read after this one? I also have Piranesi Susanna Clarke on my backlog, but would like something in a similar technological fashion as Snow Crash

Just looked this up and it has gone straight on to my backlog, thanks for the recommendation!

Cheers and enjoy!

Snowcrash is such an entertaining romp, made all the more spectacular considering that when published, ideas like avatar and cyberspace (both terms coined by Stephenson I’m told) were wildly futuristic, bordering on precognitive, considered now passé only a generation later.

Stephenson is a seer.
