I haven't read Stephenson's new one, I checked it out at the library but was only 400 pages in when the due date came up.

I've read The Diamond Age, which I thought was very good and cyberpunky like Snow Crash.

The best of his work imo is Cryptonomicon, which takes a while to get into but very worthwhile. It is somewhat cyberpunk, in that the central concern is the flow of information. The best part is the one set during WWII and efforts of each country's cryptologists to one-up each other, really fascinating stuff.
