Anyone reading “Fall”, latest book from Neil Stephenson?

Personally, I just started Gibson’s Agency today. I gave up on Stephenson and his world-building years ago. Not knocking it mind you, as he still has his fans, but I just find that Gibson’s character driven stuff with a direct focus on story keeps me more interested.

I just started it a few days ago. I’m really enjoying it. I thought cryptonomicon was his best work since it raised a lot of interesting societal questions “what’s the role of government if it can’t tax you (because all transactions are secure and anonymous)”? This new one seems to raise some new ones.

I read it last year. Stephenson is one of my favorite authors.

It drags at the end, Stephenson writes great books, but he's never figured out how to end one.
