Books
The Baroque Cycle consists of several novels "lumped together into three volumes because it is more convenient from a publishing standpoint"; Stephenson felt calling the works a trilogy would be "bogus".
Appearing in print in 2003 and 2004, the cycle contains eight books originally published in three volumes:
- Quicksilver, Vol. I of the Baroque Cycle – Arthur C. Clarke Award winner, Locus Award nominee, 2004
- Book 1 – Quicksilver
- Book 2 – The King of the Vagabonds
- Book 3 – Odalisque
- The Confusion, Vol. II of the Baroque Cycle – Locus Award winner
- Book 4 – Bonanza
- Book 5 – The Juncto
- The System of the World, Vol. III of the Baroque Cycle – Locus Award winner, Arthur C. Clarke Award nominee, 2005
- Book 6 – Solomon's Gold
- Book 7 – Currency
- Book 8 – The System of the World
