i believe that GR sold around 300,000 copies in hardcover in 1973 alone

if it were released today i would be surprised if it sold more than
50,000

not stephenson's fault... 

that said, i always think of stephenson as pynchon-lite, i like his work
but he reminds me of those graded readers you get at school

ie. if you can read cryptonomicom at 13 you can read GR when you're 17
