His first books have been dubbed Cyber-punk or near future speculative fiction (Zodiac, SnowCrash, Diamond Age). Cryptonomicon takes place in WWII as historical fiction and the present day as an adventure story focusing on cryptography. Great book!The came the three book trilogy of the Baroque Cycle: Quicksilver, Confusion, and The System of The World. These are my favorites. Historical fiction with Newton and Leibniz arguing about calculus, the politics of the 1600's, the origins of financial systems, Alchemy, heavy gold, computers, and a trip round the world by a misfit group of adventurers lead by the self declared King of The Vagabonds. Great characters, some real, some not, plenty of strong-smart females, even an eight year old Ben Franklin in the first chapter.

Anathem followed, and it is pure scifi, but no alien monsters, just a good unfolding story of scientific curiosity. Reamde is a present day adventure story but heavy on geek culture that features characters from the novel you just purchased. Seveneves is scifi again, and again no space monsters but the moon does blow up in the first page. There are a couple I haven't read yet.

These books take up 18" of my bookshelf, many of them signed, I've been lucky to attend a few of his talks. So, yeah, I am a huge fan. I find his writing nice and chewy, something I can sink my brain into.

Hope you enjoy. Not all do.
