Definitely do, if you're liking Anathem. My general understanding (though I haven't read it yet) is that Anathem goes farther along the writing-style path that he started with the Baroque Cycle. It's not at all like Snow Crash or Diamond Age, but I'd put Cryptonomicon about halfway between his old stuff and his new stuff.
