More reviews of Anathem
Jorm has a review of the new book along with some discussion on the philosophic underpinnings which I found interesting.
And for my own take on it a few hundred words in…I have to say that I like it. But much easier to jump into than Quicksliver. The vocabulary is not as daunting as it was made out to be either, the addition of the definitions adds clarity but I don’t find myself having to flip around because of a new word. And even at its large size it seems to be a fairly quick reading book.
Plus don’t forget to head to your nearest Neil appearance sure to be a good time.
