I think that while _Snow Crash_ and _Diamond Age_ are great novels just could use a better endings. Cryptonomicom was interesting but the ending after 900 pages was the worst ever written, there was no ending it just kinda stopped. His other books actually have endings and are much more of a fun read namely _Zodiac_ and _Interface_ (which is my personal favorite, ghost written as Stephen Bury) are absolutely fantasic novels with good endings that are even exciting and related to the story. _Zodiac_ is about an ecologist that tools around Boston Harbour is a Zodiac (rubber raft) the tech is bio-chem which I don't have much ionterest in but he makes it fun end exciting and way funny. In the back it claims that he went to U Michigan to study Physics, this book proves that it was really Boston University and chemistry. _Interface_ which he supposedly wrote with his uncle last name Jewsbury (or something like that) so they named the authour as Stephen Bury is possible his best book although not widely read. Its about a plot by some ILLUMINATI type characters who use a nueral network to cure a state governor after a stroke with the addition of a radio receiver so they can rewrite his political speeches in real-time as he runs for US president, absolutely fantastic ending which in more than you can say about his more famous books, the tech parts are quite as numerous by the sections about developing the neural network chip are pretty cool and there is plenty of action. The first thirty pages just describe an office and are every bit as interesting as the 5 page diatribe about the perfect bowl of Captin Crunch.
