his book "Anathem". This event took place

Authors@google series. For more info, please

Anathem, the latest invention by the New York
Times bestselling author of Cryptonomicon and
The Baroque Cycle, is a magnificent creation:
a work of great scope, intelligence, and
imagination that ushers readers into a
recognizable—yet strangely
inverted—world.
Fraa Erasmas is a young avout living in the
Concent of Saunt Edhar, a sanctuary for
mathematicians, scientists, and philosophers,
protected from the corrupting influences of
the outside "saecular" world by ancient
stone, honored traditions, and complex
rituals. Over the centuries, cities and
governments have risen and fallen beyond the
concent's walls. Three times during history's
darkest epochs violence born of superstition
and ignorance has invaded and devastated the
cloistered mathic community. Yet the avout
have always managed to adapt in the wake of
catastrophe, becoming out of necessity even
more austere and less dependent on technology
and material things. And Erasmas has no fear
of the outside—the Extramuros—for the
last of the terrible times was long, long
ago.
Neal Stephenson is the author of seven
previous novels. He lives in Seattle,
Washington.
