Any recommendations on what to read after this one? I also have Piranesi Susanna Clarke on my backlog, but would like something in a similar technological fashion as Snow Crash

    I loved Anathem, and the fact that it takes 300 pages before anything happens is wonderful. It’s been 15 years or so since I read it once and I still remember most of it; while I read Diamond Age twice but don’t have much that got retained over a decade later

      Oh absolutely. I was kinda disappointed when it turned into a relatively standard action adventure near the end. I was hoping for a couple hundred more pages of slice-of-math-life.
