Yep, I've noticed this. He's consistently ~10-20 years ahead of the curve. Much of Snowcrash (written c. 1990, I presume, published 1992) stopped being SF only circa 2010. Diamond Age is starting to get real - watched a video of folks 3-D printing rocket engines last night.https://twitter.com/N8istootall/status/1311017222123458560 …

Did you ever read Michael Flynn's Firestar books, from, I think, the mid-90s? I read then not long ago, and it's fascinating--set in the near future [now] and driven by an ideosyncratic billionaire industrialist's x-risks obsession with the need for a private space program.
