Sneak Peek At Neal Stephenson's "Anathem"

Posted by timothy on from the canticle-for-leibowitz-comes-to-mind dept.

Shawn M. Smith writes "Neal Stephenson (Cryptonomicon, The Baroque Cycle) has a new novel coming out in just a couple weeks — Anathem. Boing Boing has an excerpt from the amazing glossary (including a definition for 'bulshytt') so take a peek at a copy of an abridged glossary of neologisms and language-bending goodies from the book."
