This book made it on the Top 10 Sci-Fi films that never existed and it makes sense, because it would make one kick ass over the top movie (provided it was done right by the right director and with the right cast (and that never ever happens)). Not that you really need a movie for a book this good. When most people think of Neal Stephenson they think of this book. It is full of great lines like: "Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world. If I moved to a martial arts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten years. If my family was wiped out by Colombian drug dealers and I swore myself to revenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live,devoted it to wiping out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad." and it has sword fighting, mobsters, skateboarding, virtual metaverses, pissed-off Inuit harpooners with poor impulse control, a fucking huge refugee raft attached to a decommissioned aircraft carrier and pizza delivery... And it is smart (Neal Stephenson is one of the best). A classic.
