seeing libs talk about the horrors of socialized housing while this is 'just normal' increases my revolutionary spirit :elmofire:

      Same. Seveneves was excellent too, but pretty intense and I can't recommend it if someone is struggling with climate grief/anxiety

        Anathem was my first Neal Stephenson book and I became absolutely entrenched in the world. The fact that technology is called "praxis" lol. I really should read Seveneves again, but for some reason I didn't find it as good as Snowcrash, Anathem, REAMDE, or The Rise & Fall of D.O.D.O

          I've been putting off anathem. That or cryptonomicon is next on my stack, but your hints about anathem show me pretty clearly which one I should read next.

            Honestly my vote is for Cryptonomicon. The way all the storylines converge on the ending is so satisfying. It's a fuckin tome though
