Great stuff from Neal Stephenson at Cryptonomicon.com (http://www.cryptonomicon.com/main.html). A long exerpt from his new book, Cryptonomicon (duh!), is available, as well as the full text of the fantastic article, In the Beginning was the Command Line (http://www.cryptonomicon.com/beginning.html). Recommended!

Yes, the Cryptonomicon is great. I am the proud owner of a hardback first edition.

But its not his latest book. The latest book from Neal Stephenson is called "The Confusion" http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0060523867/

And it is his second book since Cryptonomicon.
But Neals best book remains, to me at least, Snow Crash.

Ah, you are certainly right. I'm a recent convert, and when I saw the flashy site for Cryptonomicon, I figured it must be new. In fact it's several years old. But everything I've read by Stephenson is great and most of it is available in eBook format. Hooray!
