Are there any other books where the main character seems to be neurospicy?
Also I highly recommend the series to anyone who likes SciFi. The books are really short so easy to finish even for slow readers or “need to read that page 5 times” readers. And audiobooks exist too!
A lot of Neal Stephenson, but especially Cryptonomicon, The Baroque series, and Anathem… though with the last it’s not so much the narrator as a lot of other main characters.
The Baroque series gets extra points for prominently featuring quite a few probably neurodivergent historical figures.
Seconding Cryptonomicon. Not only does it jump around in different time periods and cover different characters who are neurodivergent/quirky in a variety of ways, but it also goes down nerdy rabbitholes about various topics, from WWII codebreaking technologies, to music theory, to the necessary technique to get the perfect bite of Captain Crunch.
