Re: "Has anyone read Neil Stephenson's book Anathem? It's gotta…"
Funny, that book ended my obsession with Stephenson. I got incredibly bored with the characters and could not finish the book. Had I not completely loved Cryptonomicon, Diamond Age and Snowcrash, I would be convinced that Neil is a pretentious hack.
But I think I already said that...

The characters in Anathem maybe aren't as dynamic as the others... they don't develop in the same way that, say, Nell does in Diamond Age. That said, it seems like the world (multiverse?) is what's growing, and the movement/activity of the characters is what's driving the story more than the characters.

Has anyone read Neil Stephenson's book Anathem? It's gotta be one of my favorites.
