Anathem by Neal Stephenson:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas
Fascinating novel by Stephenson details the lives of scientist monastics; centuries of scholastic arguments by nerd avouts take place against a background of the rise and fall of civilizations. Vast clocks set the pace for the intervals at which the avouts interact with the rest of the world. Until something unexpected happens. Select an invention:
Allswell |
Blithe |
Fuel Tree |
Kinagram - moving letters |
Photomnemonic Tablet - blank recording slate |
Spine-Clamp - restraint bolt for humans |
