Outra distopía á que apuntó Neal Stephenson en REAMDE hai 15 anos: cando estás xogando, estás a traballar para alguén sen decatarte
This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history
When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines

For those of you who didn't like/read #Reamde, sorry for the 2-day flurry of quotes. It seems that I was really into Reamde quotes in the first quarter of 2019.

I would settle for Snow Crash.
Though Reamde is probably the easiest to adapt.

Ready Player One only had a bit of interesting stuff going on, and that interesting stuff it stole from Snowcrash and The Diamond Age: or a Young Ladies’ Primer. I highly recommend both and really anything Neal Stephenson wrote before Reamde (when he started writing books glorifying billionaires).

In celebration of Hungary voting out Orban, here’s all my quotes concerning Csongor in #Reamde 🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🗳️
YOUR WAFFLE'S DONE!
Yuxia figured out how to open the waffle iron & deposited its steaming load onto a plate.
The squeal stopped.
Csongor wanted to try it now. He picked up a carafe of waffle batter & poured it & watched broodingly as it infiltrated the valleys between the bumps.

I dropped engaging fully with Neal after Anathema, which I hate read to its conclusion so as to not be defeated by him and claim a moral victory, and then I read as much REAMDE as I could until I was overcome by toxins and passed out. I will give him one more chance.
@tychobrahe.bsky.social "Cultural shift is in some ways a function of baud rate" is *chefs kiss*
Also, have you read "Fall" by Neal Stephenson? It was written only 6-7 years ago but he did a great job of predicting the signal to noise ratio of information on the internet dropping to near zero.

I am rereading "Reamde" by Neal Stephenson for the 6th time: a big fat book of nonstop action and witty dialogue.

Am always fascinated by how foreign publishers decide to title some English-language novels. I had to look at the copyright page to see which @nealstephenson.bsky.social book this is! In fairness, REAMDE is not exactly translatable.

Fall, or Dodge in Hell. It's the sequel to REAMDE but you will also need to have read Cryptonomicon and the Baroque Cycle, as he has gone full Dark Tower trying to tie it all up neatly.

Not to be confused with Reamde by @nealstephenson.bsky.social!
(To be clear, both books are related--either directly or indirectly--to the history of computing, but that's where the similarities end...)

I’d say Reamde and Snow Crash are the easiest and most accessible. Cryptonomicon… well if you want a quick way to decide if you love or hate him.

So the Baroque Cycle and REAMDE were all written by hand...?

Reamde was like that too, a hilarious plot of an MMRPG combined with a weird terrorism thriller that was fine

I dunno if you have read Reamde and Fall, so will not spoil, but the difference between those two books captured the problem well for me
