I found this novel fantastically ahead of it's time--being penned in '92. The cast of characters was VERY WELL thought out, and it held incredible promise as it began and reached a prolonged fever pitch...but why did the finale have to de-evolve into the archaicly redundant "final battle?" | ||||

Warning - spoiler alert!! This book was written over 20 years ago, and I am writing this 2 days after the terror attacks in Paris which have resulted in 129 dead and 99 critically injured. I finished reading the book at about the same time as these attacks occurred. In the book many refugees are heading for America, and some very bad people are manipulating the situation. I know how it all finishes in the book, but am not at all sure how the similar situation in Europe will work out in reality. Stephenson has also done a very good job of constructing a world with a highly developed online component, which comes across as futuristic even now, despite the developments in that field since the book was published in 1992. The future world depicted is believable, and there is another factor which struck me - the inability of a particular minor character to keep up with the changes in society sufficiently to understand the life of her teenage daughter. This has always been an issue in society, of course, but in a society changing as rapidly as the one depicted here, or even in ours, here in reality today, many suffer from "Future Shock" in the sense Alvin Toffler meant it. This is one of the rare books that has been put in my "Read Again" collection, because it is so clever and complex that I doubt whether I have grasped all of it properly. | ||||

One of my favorite books of all time. A super fresh-feeling sci fi with cyberpunk undertones that will make you keep reading until you reach the end. The writing style is very unique and interesting, which could be a turnoff for some, but I just ate it up. A great plot that keeps you guessing and a world you won't want to leave when it's done. | ||||

Great book. Anything from Stephenson is always good. This mixes sci-fi with ninja s*** as well as computer hacking and knowledge and throws in the mystique and love. Solid read. | ||||

The word "unique" is so often bandied about that it loses its meaning. This book is unique. Haven't read anything this fresh and original in a long long time. Not exactly science fiction and not exactly dystopian, its a whirlwind, slap-you-in-the-face, didn't-see-that-coming kind of book. It left itself wide open to a sequel although one is probably not forthcoming. Starts with a bungled pizza delivery, for heaven's sake! Now anyone reading that sentence might say, "well that's not for me" but they would be wrong. Super duper character development and a fascinating only slightly twisted view of the near future. Get it and read it. It is a great book. I love it that the villain is a thinly veiled L. Ron Hubbard. Crooks like that need more exposure to ridicule. | ||||

This may be my favorite book of all time. I love the bit about how every man believes he is the baddest man on the planet until he is about 25, and after that he'll continue thinking so until he inevitably runs into someone even badder than him. I'm 34 and still going strong. ;) | ||||

One of a handful of the greatest sci-fi novels ever written. Total brilliance. | ||||

This is my 3rd time with this title. The first time I bought the paperback from amazon fairly close to the date it came out. The second time I bought the audible version, and now the kindle version. The book is just as fresh and compelling as it was the first time. I find myself dwelling over the details much more this time than before. Quite possible required reading for anyone who works in software development. | ||||

Interesting view of virtual reality use in the future. Many kudos for hackers, and a compelling future history of business and government (is there a difference?) Good read! | ||||

Aw, man. I was reading this for a book club (20 years after my first read) and it was a bit dated. But that's the price of being cutting edge, I guess. I was a little put off by the level of sexual activity of the 15 year old co-main character, but maybe that is just me being politically correct. The maximalist flood of ancient language/religion esoterica held up pretty well... | ||||

Amazing writing and research really make this novel stand out. Good pacing and setting keep the pages turning. Characters are fairly developed and relatable. The ending, however, left me hanging big time. But upon further examination was really fitting. Overall a great read | ||||

Very good, very different book. I've read a lot of science fiction, but this was definitely a new twist. The action came quickly and with rapid fire writing, the characters were interesting and I was carried along in the rush of machine gun like prose. Definitely worth a read. | ||||
