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.

Lena has a blog entry on seeing Neal and getting her copy of Snow Crash autographed (with a PIC!)

Over at Unshelved there is a contest a for a copy of Anathem.  Only with a very cool twist you have to come up with coolest haiku about Neal Stephenson and his work!

Brett has a write up on TV Squad on recently asking Neal the status of this, long awaited, project and if it was still in the works or not.

Here is a good giveaway a t-shirt with the definition of the work “Bulshytt” now how cool is that!
