Snow Crash is a masterpiece

Another excellent one is Daemon by Daniel Suarez

my favorite Stephenson book is The Diamond Age

I second The Hard Thing About Hard Things

Seconded

My absolute favorite is Stand on Zanzibar by John Brunner

Graham Allison's Destined for War about Thucydides Trap with an examination of the US and China was quite good

The Jagged Orbit was also excellent.

The Simpsons and Philosophy: The D'oh! of Homer which was great fun for an avid Simpsons fan (of the first 10 seasons at least).
