Ask HN: Are we all re-reading Neal Stephenson again?
I'm thinking of Snow Crash (1992) but even more so The Diamond Age (1995). Obviously not the first sci-fi to be prescient, not even the most pertinent (Black Mirror comes to mind). However I feel like as much as we're living in Infinite Jest, 1984, A Brave New World, The Machine Stops, etc., Stephenson's work is the most excruciatingly relevant to me right now in the year of our lord 1757774136 seconds since Jan 01 1970 (UTC).
