Neal Stephenson's The Confusion Released

Posted by michael on from the use-potion-of-clarity-to-avoid-confusion dept.

Jon Lasser writes "Neal Stephenson's 'The Confusion', second volume of his Baroque Cycle is released today. I received an advance copy and have a book review up here. The hypertext site for the trilogy is here. The short review: if you liked 'Quicksilver', this one is better; if you didn't, don't bother."

  1. Newton was not homosexual by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Isaac Newton was celibate. He was not homosexual. The revisionist historians in the homosexual lobby would like you to believe that every single historical figure who never married was homosexual, but that's simply ridiculous. Heck, they've even said the same thing about William Shakespeare. They are so intent on being able to point fingers and say "Look, he was one of us!" that they don't realize that they are destroying the reputations of fine men who deserve much better than slander and innuendo. Or maybe they do realize it and just don't care.

    Either way, Stephenson is not to be believed on this particular issue.

    Yeah, but U2 by Negativland is actually better than the pretentious drivel by the other band. It's sort of a bait-and-switch where the buyer gets a good deal.
