Any recommendations on what to read after this one? I also have Piranesi Susanna Clarke on my backlog, but would like something in a similar technological fashion as Snow Crash

I would go with Accelerando, or Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, if you're ready for slightly lighter fare.

Or Little Brother, which is also by Cory Doctorow.

100%, it just didn't leave as big an impression with me - probably just because I didn't read it when I was young.

Sure, it is a young adult book.

But OP, anything by Cory D would fit the bill, IMO.

Just added Accelerando to my backlog. Thanks for the recommendation 😀

It goes to some weird places, but it's a fun ride.
