2 thoughts on “Anathem – the best of Neal Stephenson”
I’ve read a number of WordPress reviews of this novel and most tend to give away too much of the story. You admirably restrain yourself. It’s hard to sum up Anathem — that too takes endurance.
Like you, I generally dislike reviews that are mere plot summaries. Now, if someone wanted to take on the plot summary of The Baroque Cycle, all of it, that would be a job and a half!
