New Stephenson book
Tomorrow, Neal Stephenson's latest book, the oddly titled Quicksilver (The Baroque Cycle, Vol. 1), goes on sale. Described as a very long historical novel (it's almost 1000 pages long) and the first volume of a projected trilogy, QuickSilver is basically a prequel to Stephenson's epic and excellent Cryptonomicon. However, since finding fame with Snow Crash, Stephenson has moved more and more into historical novels and writes less about technology, which is what I enjoyed most. I'll still read it, but at 1000 pages, this might be the ultimate example of Stephenson's inability to end a story at the right time (both Snow Crash and Crypto end in a very meandering fashion).
