Some Remarks: Essays and Other Writing

By Neal Stephenson

Book Overview

#1 New York Times bestselling author Neal Stephenson is, quite simply, one of the best and most respected writers alive. He's taken sf to places it's never been ( Snow Crash , Anathem ). He's reinvented the historical novel (The Baroque Cycle), the international thriller ( Reamde ), and both at the same time ( Cryptonomicon ). Now he treats his legion of fans to Some Remarks , an enthralling collection of essays--Stephenson's first nonfiction work since his long essay on technology, In the Beginning...Was the Command Line , more than a decade ago--as well as new and previously published short writings both fiction and non. Some Remarks is a magnificent showcase of a brilliantly inventive mind and talent, as he discourses on everything from Sir Isaac Newton to Star Wars .
