"Research your own experience. Absorb what is useful, reject what is useless, add what is essentially your own."

Exploring the idea of human brains as hardware and language/customs as software/OS is the best part of Snow Crash imo, every other detail from that book is completely forgettable.

The multiverse/parralel timeline fuckery at the end of Anathem was very cool but the rest of that bog was a loving slog.

"Poor novel with one interesting idea" is my synopsis of every Neal Stephenson book I've read...

e: genre crossover and loosely off-topic but I hope that the idea of the Loa living in cyberspace as told in Count Zero ends up as a Voodoo boys-centric DLC for CyberPunk2077
