Anyone who finds this story interesting should read Zodiac by Neal Stephenson.
……然后,过了很久,我终于妥协入手了《Cryptonomicon》,结果它成了我有史以来最喜欢的书之一。从那以后我陆陆续续涉猎了 Stephenson 的其他作品,奇妙的是,他的其他书在我心里也呈现出同样两极分化的评价。《Zodiac》非常惊艳,维多利亚风格科幻那套(《Diamond Age》?)根本读不下去。还有一本《Seveneves》,前半部分是封神的 Neal Stephenson,后半部分则是偷懒、幼稚又愚蠢的 Neal Stephenson。超级让人费解……

我很喜欢《佐迪亚克》(Zodiac)。读起来像惊悚小说,但比《雪崩》更接地气、更少怪诞。我觉得这是进入斯蒂芬森小说的好入口。
