On page 150 so only another 2467 pages to go … could be a while 🤔

Two huge stacks of handwritten pages, possibly around four feet high if they were all in one stack, next to nine ink bottles, 26 ink pen cartridges, some blotter paper, and the three finished books of Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle, on display in a museum display case.
Neal Stephenson's handwritten manuscript for his Baroque Cycle. On display at Seattle's MOPOP (then EMP) Science Fiction Museum.

Science fiction author Neal Stephenson coined the term "metaverse." Here, he writes about Meta's decision to close its $80 billion Metaverse project. "People don’t like wearing things on their faces and don’t trust those who do."

An excerpt from REAMDE by Neal Stephenson: “Do you want to see California?” He could hear Marlon beaming. “Yes.” “It is probably a better place for you,” Csongor said, “than for me. If I go, I will take you. You can be the star. I will be your—” “Bodyguard?” “Fuck that. I was thinking entourage.” “California, here we come!” Marlon exclaimed. Csongor thrust a stubby finger out the window at a road sign that said canada 50 mi/80 km. “We are going wrong way,” he pointed out. “Before California, we have to get into trouble. Then out of it.” Marlon shrugged. “But that is what we do.” Csongor nodded. “That is what we do.”
I've been re-reading @NealStephenson.bsky.social's novel Reamde, and I'd love to see another sequel focused on Csongor and Marlon.
Great buddy dynamic just beginning, fun fish-out-of-water characters both figuring out a fresh start (and maybe some redemption).

Si può dire che il "Ciclo barocco" di Neal Stephenson è un allucinogeno viaggio nerd nella Storia, ma un nerd molto particolare, contemporaneo dei protagonisti.
#nealstephenson #ciclobarocco
By default I read an author’s complete available works, in publishing OR in universe chronological order. Library for my first 20 years, then paperbacks, mostly #NealStephenson, then Vampire ebooks and lastly #HumbleBundle mostly #40K audio and ebooks.
Me watching other people reading Anathem.
Please give me a momentary reprieve from the horrors of our current geopolitical hellscape. Talk about my favorite book with me #nealstephenson #anathem
Snow Crash, a hyper-commercial future where pizza delivery is a matter of life and death.

Book cover shows female angel figure looking down and possibly walking a tightrope. Below is a sparse landscape with broken fence around a field and a huge fire - not sure uf it's buildings or vehicles. Text: Neal Stephenson Cryptonomicon 'An astonishing monumental performance' Independent. *Penguin logo*.
Just started Cryptonomicon
@insanity-claus.bsky.social
Blimey, had to have a nap after 2 pages. Big words, big ideas, very long complicated sentences.
Makes a change from reading utter trash :)

I KNOW it’s crypto but if anyone has any business building a metaverse it’s Neal Stephenson.

Writing long form creative literature is a very strange ability. Honestly seems like a highly neurodivergent behavior. It’s immensely valuable and clearly necessary, but WTF!? How do you folks DO IT?! #nealstephenson, Tolstoy, Oates, TOLKIEN?!
SHOUT OUT TO ALL OF YOU!!(except Ayn Rand) #booksky
Happy Birthday. Today, Oct 31, 1959 – #NealStephenson, American author, was born.

I'll take #AlanMoore over #NealStephenson. I prefer my circumlocution in #English.
Die #maschinelleÜbersetzung – eine reine Lachnummer: So war es bis vor Kurzem. Doch wie weit wir in ein paar Jahren gekommen sind, zeigt mein äusserst fieses Experiment: Übersetzungen, die sowohl #Asterix als auch #NealStephenson erblassen lassen. #clickomaniach
I am excited by what genetics could do. I greatly enjoyed #Seveneves "a science fiction novel by #NealStephenson published in 2015. The story tells of the desperate efforts to preserve Homo sapiens in the wake of apocalyptic events on Earth"

Screenshot of Facebook account suspension notice for my account, for not following Community Standards on cybersecurity.
...annnnnd posting this tweet screenshot just got my Failbook account suspended. Huh.

Today in “you can’t make this stuff up,” Meta has suspended my Facebook account because they suspect me of impersonating someone noteworthy
Famous people walk a fine line with Facebook- on one hand. I'm sure they don't want to be their, on the other if they don't occupy a space there, they leave themselves up and for some fake scammer. A daily reminder, as if you needed one, that Facebook sucks.
#NealStephenson #technology #tech #meta
I'm reading Snow Crash for the first time. @nealstephenson.bsky.social .... I wish I'd read you earlier in my life. The essays I'd have written on this #book! Chapter 5 and counting.

Contemporaries of writers have a bonus – you can ask them what they think about the evolution of their ideas. 30 years ago, Stephenson mused about the future of education in "The Diamond Age", and now he comments on this topic in a short essay. #NealStephenson #Education #FutureOfEducation
