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.

My Prodigal Brainchild Reflections on the latest and greatest Death of the Metaverse

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).

Blimey, had to have a nap after 2 pages. Big words, big ideas, very long complicated sentences.
Makes a change from reading utter trash :)

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?!

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.

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
