Are there any other books where the main character seems to be neurospicy?

Also I highly recommend the series to anyone who likes SciFi. The books are really short so easy to finish even for slow readers or “need to read that page 5 times” readers. And audiobooks exist too!

    A lot of Neal Stephenson, but especially Cryptonomicon, The Baroque series, and Anathem… though with the last it’s not so much the narrator as a lot of other main characters.

      The Baroque series gets extra points for prominently featuring quite a few probably neurodivergent historical figures.
