Well today is the day, I am sure by now everyone is hanging out in front of your favorite bookstore or feverishly tracking packages from Amazon (Anathem on Amazon).
Slothrop has informed us that anathembook.com went live, as well as nealstephenson.com, with content. The video’s section is cool. But being greeted by that trailer still weirds me out. The rest of the site is pretty blah actually with just coming soon! placed on most pages.
Here is what Wired thinks you need to do to get ready for Anathem.
And Rudy Rucker’s take on Anathem.

wow, I have to admit when io9 hinted at an interview with Neal about the book, I really hoped for more than a couple of block quotes on cell phone etiquette.

Complete-Review and the LA Times their reviews posted. And finally it is the 8th only one more day of reading reviews before you can actually go out and read the book.

Here is a link to a cool cover gallery for Snow Crash, just in case all this Anathem talk might be too much for you (and if it is you might want to skip the next few posts…not that you’d want to do that!)

abyrneseyeview stumbled upon what appears to be a guide to the language Orth (which is featured in Anathem). The guide doesn’t seem to be completed, and having not read Anathem at this point, I am not certain of it’s relevance. You can check it out here.

Here is an video that is on the William Morrow channel on MySpace, it was created by Seattle based filmmaker Brady Hall (and seems to have a catalog of Harper Collins projects), and the site links to the as of yet parked anathembook.com site. It is in a word its…interesting, I have watched 3 times and I am still scratching my head not really knowing how to take this. It is cool to see Anathem getting all this attention. But take a look for yourself, and let me know how you feel about it.
