Yes! One of my favorite books by him, alongside Zodiac and Diamond Age.

I like Stephenson's stuff, but I've not read Anathem yet, so it's going on my list. :)

@stack, yeah the book definitely starts slowly and dryly. I like the fictionalized history of philosophy that it presents, though it was hard to keep track of the characters (e.g. Saunt Proc (the syntactic (realist) theor) vs Saunt Halikaarn (the semantic (nominalist) theor)).

Anathem has a lot of ideas relevant to Gemini :) including what the web might end up as, and minimal use of high tech.

Has anyone read Neil Stephenson's book Anathem? It's gotta be one of my favorites.
