    Stephenson's books have gotten worse and worse as he's gotten older. Usually authors improve as they age, not put out dreck like Cryptonomicon.

      So, just like Robert A. Heinlein then?

      Tic-Tac-Toe, Global Thermonuclear War, and relationships all have the same winning move.

      The stories i mostly enjoyed, but his sex scenes would bring the human race to an end if young people read them

      Is Cryptonomicon popularly viewed as not being very good? I enjoyed it, not as much as Snow Crash, but what the hell can compare with that?
