Sequel / threads left dangling

[Sardinicus]

Stephenson left enough threads dangling to signal a likely sequel:

- The Agent
- The Purpose / the group behind Ty's bar
- The Martian offshoot

So, 7 years down the road, is there any sign of a sequel? How might such a thing be structured?

[Phil]

The Agent is left mysterious so that it inspires the Purpose.

The Purpose is a spiritual movement suggesting that humanity has a greater role than just survival.

The Martian offshoot failed spectacularly. They never even got close to Mars.
