I liked Anathem, but it is more of a philosophical work. Personally I think The Diamond Age is Stephenson's hard sci-fi masterpiece.

I agree, The Diamond Age is my favorite book from Stephenson so far (I have the baroque cycle and pre-snowcrash books left to read), but something about Anathem makes me feel like it has staying power. Just my opinion though.

The Baroque Cycle I never quite could make myself read fully, despite liking other books of his a lot.

The Baroque Cycle seems like it was a ton of fun to write, much less so to read.
