You could do worse than to start at the beginning. _Snow Crash_ is a
very funny book, if you can deal with the kind of humor that names a
book's main character "Hiro Protagonist." Others really like _The
Diamond Age_, but it didn't do much for me. I recommend going to the
recent _Anathem_, a dark alternate-world novel.
