Review title: Neal Stephenson is akin to William Gibson in cyberpunk
Product review: As well as akin to some of the Old Masters of Science Fiction/High-Tech, like Asimov or Clarke. He already has an impressive body of works: "Cryptonomicon", "Zodiac", "Snow Crash", "Quicksiver", etc. The various high-tech attributes, such as taking place in a far-flung future society that is "Victorian" in nature and the use of a super-computer built by nanotechnology (the "primer book") all rank him with the Old School of Science Fiction/High-Tech. I, personally, have added this book (and his others) to my collection: "Stranger in a Strange Land", "the Foundation series", "I, Robot", "Starship Troopers", "Childhood's End", "Neuromancer", "Virtual Light", "Mona Lisa Overdrive", "Count Zero", "Darkeye: Cyber Hunter" and so on. Try to get them all, if you can, but definitely get "The Diamond Age"!
