Anathem

I’ve just finished Neal Stephenson’s latest epic novel “Anathem”. It might be described as a philosophical techno-adventure comedy with aliens. Highly recommended. Here’s the widget of the book of Stephenson’s exceptional mind…

It’s fascinating to trace one of the founding ideas of Anathem back to some sketches that Stepehenson made for the Long Now Clock in 01999. Here’s hoping it doesn’t take Stephenson too long to follow up with a prequel or sequel or paraquel.

p.s. Hidden in the widget above is a link to the full text of Cryptonomicon, essential techno-adventure comedy for anyone involved in a technology start-up.
