Cyberpunk

Books

Cover for Cryptonomicon

My first Stephenson novel, and likely his second best after The Diamond Age

Cover for The Diamond Age

If you’re going to only read on Stephenson book, make it this one. Especially relevant now in the age of LLMs.

The first one is great, skip the second unless you’re a superfan.

Agentic AI before it was cool.

Cover for Neuromancer

Like a lot of highly-influential books, ends up feeling dated and overhyped because it’s innovative ideas have been copied and improved upon by others.
