Synopsis of The Diamond Age: Or, A Young Lady'S Illustrated Primer

In Snow Crash, Neal Stephenson Took Science Fiction To Dazzling New Levels. Now, In The Diamond Age, He Delivers Another Stunning Tale. Set In Twenty-First Century Shanghai, It Is The Story Of What Happens When A State-Of-The-Art Interactive Device Falls In The Hands Of A Street Urchin Named Nell. Her Life—And The Entire Future Of Humanity—Is About To Be Decoded And Reprogrammed…

>About The Author
Neal Stephenson Issues From A Clan Of Rootless, Itinerant Hardscience And Engineering Professors (Mostly Pac-10, Big 10, And Big 8 With The Occasional Wild Strain Of Ivy). He Began His Higher Education As A Physics Major, Then Switched To Geography When It Appeared That This Would Enable Him To Scam More Free Time On His University’S Mainframe Computer. When He Graduated And Discovered, To His Perplexity, That There Were No Jobs For Inexperienced Physicist-Geographers, He Began To Look Into Alternative Pursuits Such As Working On Cars, Unimaginably Stupid Agricultural Labor, And Writing Novels. His First Novel, The Big U, Was Published In 1984 And Vanished Without A Trace. His Second Novel, Zodiac: An Eco-Thriller, Came Out In 1988 And Quickly Developed A Cult Following Among Water-Pollution-Control Engineers. It Was Also Enjoyed, Though Rarely Bought, By Many Radical Environmentalists. Snow Crash Was Written In The Years 1988 Through 1991 As The Author Listened To A Great Deal Of Loud, Relentless, Depressing Music.

Mr. Stephenson Now Resides In A Comfortable Home In The Western Hemisphere And Spends All Of His Time Trying To Retrofit An Office Into Its Generally Dark, Unlevel, And Asbestos-Laden Basement So That He Can Attempt To Write More Novels. Despite The Tremendous Amounts Of Time He Devotes To Writing, Playing With Computers, Listening To Speed Metal, Rollerblading, And Pounding Nails, He Is A Flawless Husband, Parent, Neighbor, And All-Around Human Being.
