      ... Biblical-level hyper-racism right there.

      This book's ending fizzled to nothing, but it had a couple fun concepts. That and "Amistics", the study of how cultures choose which technologies to utilize and which to abandon, were good thoughts. I enjoyed the colonization of an asteroid belt. He created a founding myth, too.

      I recently finished Fall and it has similar Genesis type themes. Worth reading if you enjoyed Cryptonomicon.

      Haven't read it. I read Snow Crash and Seveneves, & was thoroughly pissed off by the non-endings in both, but loved his conceptwork. I vowed to never read a book of his again after the end of Seveneves, but if you're saying other books are better.... I'll give him another shot.

      Cryptonomicon is one of my top ten novels of all time. It does suffer from a bit of an abrupt ending though. I think that's just Stephenson. Seveneves should have ended with them landing on the moon's core.

      Except that Cleft, immediately following, might be the greatest piece of disintegrationism ever composed. (The name alone is almost unbearably awesome.)

          I really enjoyed the latter third. I also hadn't read the dust jacket or table of contents so was thrown by the 5,0000 year jump. It was like reading a novel about Moses and Aaron then jumping to modern day Israel for a new novel.

          I love well-expressed time-spanning in speculative fiction. Seeing that past->future impact when well-written gives a unique feeling of investment. Ever read Canticle for Lebowitz?
