Like Snow Crash, its smart, its nifty, its hip and its complex. The breathtaking tale of a wealthy tech entrepreneur caught in the very real crossfire of his own online fantasy war game, Reamde is a new high-and a new world-for the remarkable Neal Stephenson. Reamde is a contemporary novel that harkens back to the much-liked Snow Crash. I went though this whole book waiting for a moment where everything fell in together much like with some of his other pieces (cryptonomicon, diamond age) and it tried several times to get there.

The author has got this impression through the works of different know authors. Reamde was a nice story but it didn't fit together like most of the others. With Reamde, this visionary author whose mind-stretching fiction has been enthusiastically compared to the work of Thomas Pynchon, Don DeLillo, Kurt Vonnegut, and David Foster Wallace-not to mention William Gibson and Michael Crichton-once again blazes new ground with a high-stakes thriller that will enthrall his loyal audience, science and science fiction, and espionage fiction fans equally. Neal Stepenson has remained an author who likes to come up with fascinating stuff for the audience. The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anathem, Neal Stephenson is continually rocking the literary world with his brazen and brilliant fictional creations-whether he’s reimagining the past (The Baroque Cycle), inventing the future ( Snow Crash), or both ( Cryptonomicon). “Stephenson has a once-in-a-generation gift: he makes complex ideas clear, and he makes them funny, heartbreaking, and thrilling.”
