During this past year, I’ve been inhaling books like nobody’s business and, in particular, re-discovering my love of science fiction.

Anathem was by far my favorite discovery of the whole year in any genre, highly highly recommended. (I much preferred it to Cryptonomicon actually.) I found it beautiful and deep and entertaining on every level.

+1 for Anathem. Seveneves, especially the seemingly tacked-on last part of Seveneves, is weak drivel compared to that book.

Throughout the pandemic I have re-read Anathem several times. The thought of a cloistered community in pursuit of knowledge (mathic society) ends up being my happy place.
