Personally, I just started Gibson’s Agency today. I gave up on Stephenson and his world-building years ago. Not knocking it mind you, as he still has his fans, but I just find that Gibson’s character driven stuff with a direct focus on story keeps me more interested.

Thanks for the suggestion. I just placed a hold on the first of that series.

Word of warning on The Peripheral, it's quite a plot to wrap your head around at first, as is usual with time-related stuff, but once you get rolling with it you won't put it down. It's typical Gibson, which I love.

And Agency reads like a hot knife through butter. I can't wait to see how he wraps it up in the third one, if that's what he's going for.
