After many adventures, my essay Your Own Private Universe: Neal Stephenson, Max Gladstone, and Cyberpunk’s Midlife Crisis is live at Ancillary Review of Books!

The one I'd rec to you personally is Zodiac. It's early Stephenson, which means it has a ton of energy and burns out in the finale, but you might enjoy the Boston scenery as well as the A-plot?

Ah, I'll put that on the list, thank you!

Zodiac gets my rec as well. More of a thriller than SF, but well worth the read.

I've read only early Stephenson (and taught one). Sort of glad that I paused there. Definitely glad to read your review essay, in any case!
