OK that was gay, true.
How did Snow Crash or Diamond Age end?

PS Don't forget that the Cryptonomicon characters will probably come back in a future book, because they are tied in with the Baroque Cycle characters.

No clue, but I certainly do intend on reading them considering, ending asside, how much I enjoyed Cryptonomicron.

Snowcrash was great.  Diamond age was good too, but a bit less so I think.
