If any part of you is interested in income inequality, the development of the emerging world, or 3d printing -- this book promises to be spot on as well.

The audiobook quality stinks though. The narrator is very good but it sounds like they recorded the thing in a bathroom on a tape recorder.
This is an awesome book. And the audiobook version is good as well.
edit the comment above says audio quality is crap. trust that over my memory. i listened to it a long time ago and it may have been a different narrator or better master copy or maybe me just not remembering crap audio.
That said, it's old, and it didn't seem like the kind of work that would age well: you may have trouble suspending your disbelief.

Second the above comment on the audiobook being mediocre though; the copy I had just never quite drew me in. It was decently performed, but the masters on my copy were mediocre.

Totally agreed. I'm a total Stephenson fanboy. Snowcrash was indeed his 'first big hit' and though not his best work does show so many elements of his prescience. That and if you read some of his short stories (the Big U I think) and the Cryptonomicon (and yes look at the publication dates) he's very spot on about some major trends (but in fine detail) easily over a decade in advance.
Then there is some of his more 'fun to think about' work like Anathem. All of it is worth reading (though you can skip the whole Mongol series unless the alternate history thing floats your boat).
Oh, one thing one must be prepared for is that all his stuff is looong. I think it stems from his inability to actually write an ending, so he just keeps writing and writing and writing until he finally has to finish it. It often comes across like a Star Trek episode where the solution is a 2 minute 'flood the ship with Tetryon particles' and then everything works out just fine.
Every Stephenson book is like that. I still read them though.
