Not as well-remembered as Snow Crash or some of his other books, but an excellent read. For anyone wanting strong female roles in your science fantasy, Neal Stephenson does that here long before the MeToo movement.

Possibly Stephenson best IMO: all the ideas and action, less bloat than his later works. Intriguing ideas on the future of education, the differences between socioeconomic classes as we become a technocracy, as well as East/West philosophy. Zoomers arent quite Neo Victorians, but a reaction to past excess is definitely shaping the culture.

Introduces you to the concept of "cookie cutters", a nanometer scale munition that pretty much rocks

Same, one of my favorites. Like a near-future Prince and the Popper.
