Snow Crash led the way for the postcyberpunk, but it requires more than just satire of cyberpunk. Postcyberpunk involves an essentially positive view of the way technology will transform our society.

Snow Crash involves a dystopian future. The Diamond Age doesn't involve a utopian one, but one that is still better than the present.

And then Stephenson wrote Cryptonomicon so as to be completely unclassifiable
