Neal Stephenson's "Anathem" Due In September

Alexander Rose writes "Neal Stephenson's new novel, ANATHEM, germinated in 01999 when Danny Hillis asked him and several other contributors to sketch out their ideas of what the Millennium Clock might look like. Stephenson tossed off a quick sketch and promptly forgot about it. Five years later however, when he was between projects, the idea came back to him, and he began to explore the possibility of building a novel around it. ANATHEM is the result, and will be released on September 9th, 02008." Read Rose's complete posting for more information about the release of the book, which he describes as set "in a genre bending alt-future-retro world where mechani-punk technology meets space opera in a blend of the best of Snow Crash and the Baroque Cycle."

I see you're one of slashdot's many elitists. I'm sorry we don't get your 'humor'.

No really, you've got to be shitting me. If you don't see the sarcasm in the original post, you either expect other people to be abysmally absurd/stupid or you're yourself abysmally dense.

But yeah, sorry about my elitism, I shouldn't expect as much as basic sarcasm detection from people like you.
