Yeah, Cryptonomicon was the start of a six-book run where shit got weird, and then really weird. I loved it, but they weren't quite the breezy reads his earlier books were.

I do enjoy his writing. I'm going to have to look up his other stuff as Snow Crash is the only one I've read.

He's shifted genres a few times (historical, techno-thrillers, apocalyptic sci-fi), and definitely doesn't coast or write the same book over and over. But yeah, his writing remains consistently good.

I enjoy writers who are able to shift around genres. Kazuo ishiguro is like that.
