It's a fascinating read... vandevere Send a noteboard - 21/10/2009 02:40:24 AM
I never thought I would live to see the day where someone would write about Hugh Mathematics, and Quantum Physics, and make it deeply fascinating for me; the Ultimate Non-mathematical mind.

But Neal stephensen did it. He kept me on the edge of my seat through the whole darn thing...

If the human brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't understand it.

Anyone read Neal Stephenson's ANATHEM? - 20/10/2009 06:13:58 PM 951 Views
No, but I am thoroughly enjoying Quicksilver - 20/10/2009 06:36:51 PM 593 Views
It is at that. - 20/10/2009 07:08:12 PM 643 Views
Re: It is at that. - 20/10/2009 07:10:17 PM 702 Views
You see, i'm the complete opposite - 20/10/2009 07:28:17 PM 725 Views
He is most certainly not for everyone. - 20/10/2009 08:08:36 PM 592 Views
I read him in small pieces - 20/10/2009 08:21:51 PM 635 Views
Yep, good book, not his best. - 20/10/2009 07:27:03 PM 637 Views
I agree. - 20/10/2009 08:06:41 PM 630 Views
Oddly enough it was probably my favorite so far. *NM* - 20/10/2009 10:22:51 PM 268 Views
So what is his best? - 21/10/2009 12:03:15 AM 615 Views
Cryptonomicon, most likely. - 21/10/2009 06:30:52 AM 650 Views
I started reading him with Cryptonomicon - 21/10/2009 05:12:51 PM 698 Views
I read the Baroque Cycle first. - 21/10/2009 09:47:35 PM 607 Views
well, clearly you did not understand everything. - 21/10/2009 10:55:08 PM 662 Views
... Bwa? - 22/10/2009 12:07:09 AM 591 Views
My point exactly! *NM* - 22/10/2009 06:36:32 AM 289 Views
Your point is nonsense? ... Yeah, I guess that's typical. *NM* - 22/10/2009 03:37:50 PM 615 Views
Same for me - 22/10/2009 12:10:52 PM 715 Views
Me third. *NM* - 22/10/2009 09:23:31 PM 277 Views
You don't have to do a full summarization. - 20/10/2009 08:27:49 PM 670 Views
yes, several times, which is not my norm... - 21/10/2009 02:30:04 AM 637 Views
It's a fascinating read... - 21/10/2009 02:40:24 AM 623 Views
That was one of my predominant thoughts throughout... - 21/10/2009 02:06:34 PM 699 Views
I bought it about a month ago, but haven't read it yet. - 21/10/2009 04:26:20 AM 680 Views
I bought it not last weekend, but the weekend before. And then read it all in about 2 days. - 21/10/2009 09:06:17 AM 848 Views
I feel pretty much exactly the same way. - 21/10/2009 01:58:47 PM 840 Views
I think uncertain is probably the best description - 27/10/2009 11:26:11 AM 717 Views
Well, I think he has some ideas of the implications. - 27/10/2009 05:53:01 PM 663 Views
I bought it a few weeks ago. Not got around to reading it yet. - 21/10/2009 01:20:06 PM 618 Views
In that case, - 21/10/2009 02:07:13 PM 667 Views
Excellent - 21/10/2009 03:20:02 PM 725 Views
Yes. Awesome book. - 21/10/2009 03:00:21 PM 569 Views
Looking back, I can't remember reading it. I one hundred percent see it in my head as a movie. - 21/10/2009 11:29:15 PM 720 Views
That's often how I remember Stephenson's books. - 22/10/2009 02:34:40 PM 596 Views
That's a great point. - 22/10/2009 05:43:24 PM 677 Views
Snow Crash also has the best named main character of all time: Hiro Protagonist - 23/10/2009 01:39:26 AM 722 Views
Hiro's my hero - 23/10/2009 05:05:48 PM 810 Views
