This book almost lost me about halfway through when Stephenson goes on and on about religious history, but I stuck with it and I'm so glad I did! There's a lot of interesting ideas that still holds up pretty well in 2025.
I wouldn't say many of the ideas are groundbreaking for this day and age, but considering it came out in the early 90s, it's very impressive and prophetic. I can see why it's a classic sci-fi novel, but I wouldn't blame you if you skimmed parts of it like I did to get to the main meat of it all.
