Diamond Age got an M. I loved this book. This era of Neal Stevenson is the part of his career I enjoyed best - he was doing hi best at balancing ideas and story. (As opposed to, say, Cryptonomicon, which I think would have been improved by stripping out the story entirely and publishing the infodumps as a nonfiction anthology.)
Mirrorshades got an F. Would have gotten an M, but I haven't read it since the last 80s and I don't know how well it has aged.
