Is his stuff, or at least any/some of it any good? Is it at least better than most generic sci-fi stuff? I've been wanting to read Anathem for a while and wonder what /lit/ thinks.

Cryptonomicon has some merit, it is at least unique and has some interesting ideas about security, wealth, and perceptions of history.

I cant write it off as genre trash like I can say, Snow Crash.

Anathem was great. The world he created was so unique.

Fuck yeah his stuff is good.

Problem is every now and then he goes a little overboard on the descriptions of the setting. The Baroque Cycle and Seveneves are good examples of this.
