I second those both and would like to add Anathem by Neal Stephenson as well.

I feel Diamond Age is his best, but the ones mentioned are great too.

I never really liked the earlier Stephenson that much - but I love Cryptonomicon, the Baroque Cycle, Anathem and Seveneves.

I even like the last part of Seveneves!

Reamde wasn't very good though.

But the first part of Seveneves is better surely? Though I liked both.

Yes, I would agree with that. The first part is fantastic and the last part is quite good.

The last part should have been a separate book!
