read snowcrash
edit to add: no, seriously, go read it. The ebook is at https://archive.org/details/SnowCrashNealStephenson and you can use sumatrapdf or calibre to view the epub.
God I love this book, read it so many times.
It's so fucking good. I don't understand why my book club is so resistant to reading it (opposing suggestions at the last discussion were literally Thus Spoke Zarathustra and some piece of shit that my friend described as "the crown, but in book form and better").

love Neal Stephenson
Same. Seveneves was excellent too, but pretty intense and I can't recommend it if someone is struggling with climate grief/anxiety
Anathem was my first Neal Stephenson book and I became absolutely entrenched in the world. The fact that technology is called "praxis" lol. I really should read Seveneves again, but for some reason I didn't find it as good as Snowcrash, Anathem, REAMDE, or The Rise & Fall of D.O.D.O
I've been putting off anathem. That or cryptonomicon is next on my stack, but your hints about anathem show me pretty clearly which one I should read next.
Honestly my vote is for Cryptonomicon. The way all the storylines converge on the ending is so satisfying. It's a fuckin tome though
