Aside from Project Hail Mary which I assume every /c/sciencefiction subscriber is going to read what have you been reading or plan to read?

    I enjoyed Neuromancer much better than Snowcrash, I have to say. I’m particularly blown away by how much it still holds up! It could have been written yesterday. While I felt Snowcrash aged more, mostly for the style.

      Yeah, some elements of Snow Crash have definitely not aged well. The pervy sex scenes with the underaged girl have definitely outlived their welcome. Stephenson has certainly come a long way as a writer since he wrote this.
