Saw Mr. Stephenson for the second time. First heard him during his book tour after writing Cryptonomicon. Not for sure if he toured during the release of his Baroque tour de force. I would think he needed time to rest his hand after long writing that story! Obviously he was touring and reading from his new release, Anathem. Most of his books are quirky and this one takes place on an alternative (?) world where the scientist are secluded away and only allowed to come out for set time periods.
His overall Q&A was good. I always get irked by the author's reading their own material. I'd much rather talk about the process, the ideals, the writing, the edits and what not. But I guess every author is required to read a portion of his new book...
