Yeah, I just love the way he writes about technical stuff. With Tom Clancy and his endless technical crap, it felt like literally reading a manual to a nuclear submarine. I often skimmed those sections of his books. Stephenson writes that kind of stuff with a fun, poetic style that keeps it interesting, imo.

But yes, I know more about the physics of a zero-G environment than I ever wanted to after the first read through.
