In 1942, Lawrence Pritchard Waterhouse - mathematical genius and young Captain in the US Navy - is assigned to detachment 2702. It is an outfit so secret that only a handful of people know it exists, and some of those people have names like Churchill and Roosevelt. The mission of Watrehouse and Detachment 2702 - commanded by Marine Raider Bobby Shaftoe - is to keep the Nazis ignorant of the fact that Allied Intelligence has cracked the enemy's fabled Enigma code. In the present, Waterhouse's crypto-hacker grandson, Randy, is attempting to create a "data haven" in Southeast Asia....

Neal Stephenson is a blazing new force on the sci-fi scene. With the groundbreaking cyberpunk novel Snow Crash, he has "vaulted onto the literary stage." It weaves virtual reality, Sumerian myth, and just about everything in between with a cool, hip cybersensibility - in short, it is the gigathriller of the information age.

After Englishman John Blackthorne is lost at sea, he awakens in a place few Europeans know of and even fewer have seen—Nippon. Thrust into the closed society that is seventeenth-century Japan, a land where the line between life and death is razor-thin, Blackthorne must negotiate not only a foreign people, with unknown customs and language, but also his own definitions of morality, truth, and freedom. As internal political strife and a clash of cultures lead to seemingly inevitable conflict, Blackthorne’s loyalty and strength of character are tested by both passion and loss.

Neal Stephenson, "the hottest science fiction writer in America", takes science fiction to dazzling new levels. The Diamond Age is a stunning tale; set in 21st-century Shanghai, it is the story of what happens what a state-of-the-art interactive device falls into the hands of a street urchin named Nell.

Description
A New York Times Notable Book
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Seveneves, Anathem, Reamde, and Cryptonomicon returns with a wildly inventive and entertaining science fiction thriller - Paradise Lost by way of Philip K. Dick - that unfolds in the near future, in parallel worlds.
In his youth, Richard “Dodge” Forthrast founded Corporation 9592, a gaming company that made him a multibillionaire. Now in his middle years, Dodge appreciates his comfortable, unencumbered life, managing his myriad business interests, and spending time with his beloved niece Zula and her young daughter, Sophia.
One beautiful autumn day, while he undergoes a routine medical procedure, something goes irrevocably wrong. Dodge is pronounced brain dead and put on life support, leaving his stunned family and close friends with difficult decisions. Long ago, when a much younger Dodge drew up his will, he directed that his body be given to a cryonics company now owned by enigmatic tech entrepreneur Elmo Shepherd. Legally bound to follow the directive despite their misgivings, Dodge’s family has his brain scanned and its data structures uploaded and stored in the cloud, until it can eventually be revived.
In the coming years, technology allows Dodge’s brain to be turned back on. It is an achievement that is nothing less than the disruption of death itself. An eternal afterlife - the Bitworld - is created, in which humans continue to exist as digital souls.
But this brave new immortal world is not the Utopia it might first seem...
Fall, or Dodge in Hell is pure, unadulterated fun: a grand drama of analog and digital, man and machine, angels and demons, gods and followers, the finite and the eternal. In this exhilarating epic, Neal Stephenson raises profound existential questions and touches on the revolutionary breakthroughs that are transforming our future. Combining the technological, philosophical, and spiritual in one grand myth, he delivers a mind-blowing speculative literary saga for the modern age.

Keeps adding to his world.
The Waterhouse’s, Shaftoes and Forthrasts clans are all continued from previous books (Cryptonomicon, Baroque saga, Reamde). He carries it forward really well. We see how the various family sagas are moving forward. Yes. It draws on a bit. But, overall a great [series of] book[s].

I'll probably read again more than once.
For those who aren't already Stephenson readers, I'd say start elsewhere. This book is the culmination of many works reaching back to Cryptonomicon in publishing sequence, and The Baroque Cycle in narrative time.
it is an allegory that interweaves a number of potent themes: the end of information age, the possibility of digitized consciousness, the idea of reality as a simulation, and the tension between liberalism and progressivism.
I loved it.

Good narration, book is.... okay
I typically love Neal Stephenson's books, but this was an absolute chore.
The first two thirds are very interesting, and deal with some fascinating subject matter, and meet the par for Stephenson's always excellent world building. The last third is intensely boring.
Intensely boring.

Genius is as genius writes.
This is my seventh Neil Stephenson book.
Perhaps I should have planned better and read SevenEves for the palendromic symmetry of it all. Alas it’s epic has already been consumed with relish and mustard.
As it is it Falls to Dodge In Hell to complete this weeks end of brilliance.
So far the man can do no wrong in my books.
Time after time I am carried away by opus upon opus.
I was happy to see reflections and the direct re-engagement of cherished characters from his previous books.
If your an orthodox’d member of any religion, including atheism, this may not be the book for you.
For anyone and everyone else dig in.

Disappointing
Okay. I’m going to say it: Fall is boring.
I was excited to return to the adventures of the Forthrast family, and eagerly awaited this sequel to Reamde, but I could barely finish it. Stephenson’s view of the singularity is pinched and narrow, and his characters mostly flat plot devices, rather than the living people I have come to expect from him. Coming so soon after the similarly disappointing DODO, Fall comes dangerously close to pushing Stephenson off my must-read list!
