I like Neil Stephenson for near future sci fi, particularly the idea that: "anonymous distributed ledger identification becomes popular in business." From #FallOrDodgeInHell en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall%3B... But basically online anonymous identies that mainly tie previous published works

"Crazytown was repelled by facts and knowledge, as oil fled from water, but was fascinated by the absence of hard facts, since it provided vacant space in which to construct elaborate edifices of speculation. Toward power it felt some combination of fear and admiration, and Corvallis was powerful. Toward vulnerability it was drawn, in the same way that predators would converge on the isolated and straggling."

So, I've finished reading #FallOrDodgeInHell by #NealStephenson and enjoyed reading it, but moving on to what to read next I've discovered that I should perhaps have read #Reamde or #ReadMe first. Oops!;*

So I'm now 71% through #FallOrDodgeInHell and am enjoying it slightly more than Diamond Age. Nice to see how the families of characters from #NealStephenson 's other novels have developed, though they are only back-story so you don't need to have read his other novels to understand this one.

Just, finally, finished reading #TheDiamondAge by #NealStephenson

An interesting read that reminds me a little of #StandOnZanzibar by #JohnBrunner though I've only just thought that as I was typing this post.

Onwards to #FallOrDodgeInHell

@elegose Abuztuko liburuari orain arte ekin ez izanaren arrazoia #ZientziaFikzioa eta #Fantasia nahasten dituen #NealStephenson​en liburu berria izan da: #FallOrDodgeInHell. Abiapuntua bideo-jokoekin dirutza egindako gizon baten heriotza da. Bere testamentuan gorputza kriogenizatzeko eskatzen du. Hortik aurrera hainbat gai agertzen dira ia 900 orriko liburukotean: fake news-ak, AEBetako erlijio fanatismoa, hilezkortasun digitala, mitologia greko eta judeo-kristaua...
