publishko posted:I was enjoying Anathem in spite of its masturbatory nature until I starting reading Book of the New Sun, which takes place in a vaguely similar sort of setting, and I realized how utterly pedestrian Stephenson's writing was. His tangents on Platonic philosophy were kinda cool though book of the new sun is the best hypermasculine science fiction ivever read and possibly the best sci fi period its extremely good read it everyone

I was on a cyberpunk mailing list for reasons i wont get into at this time but the author running it admitted he didn't like Snow Crash because it had a sense of humor and fun. Obvs unsubscribed following this heresy.

well in a world w 12-novel genre trash series it's a stretch to call new sun a shelfbender but its four books of meaningful word count and you'll definitely have to reread them
