_Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore_, Robin Sloan.

Neal Stephenson, but with very few infodumps, a single plot, and a real ending in a reasonable number of pages. Also: utterly charming, very geeky, and embodying a spirit of now that dooms it forever to being a period piece about 2008-2012ish.

That doesn't sound like Stephenson at all. :-) (Mind you, I love his work.)

I loved the short story, but not in a way that would inform me about how much I'd like the novel...
