He's taken sf to places it's never been (<em>Snow Crash</em>, <em>Anathem</em>). He's reinvented the historical novel (The Baroque Cycle), the international thriller (<em>Reamde</em>), and both at the same time (<em>Cryptonomicon</em>).</p><p>Now he treats his legion of fans to <em>Some Remarks</em>, an enthralling collection of essays--Stephenson's first nonfiction work since his long essay on technology, <em>In the Beginning...Was the Command Line</em>, more than a decade ago--as well as new and previously published short writings both fiction and non.</p><p><em>Some Remarks</em> is a magnificent showcase of a brilliantly inventive mind and talent, as he discourses on everything from Sir Isaac Newton to <em>Star Wars</em>.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>One of the most talented and creative authors working today, Neal Stephenson is renowned for his exceptional novels--works colossal in vision and mind-boggling in complexity. Exploring and blending a diversity of topics, including technology, economics, history, science, pop culture, and philosophy, his books are the products of a keen and adventurous intellect. Not surprisingly, Stephenson is regularly asked to contribute articles, lectures, and essays to numerous outlets, from major newspapers and cutting-edge magazines to college symposia. This remarkable collection brings together previously published short writings, both fiction and nonfiction, as well as a new essay (and an extremely short story) created specifically for this volume.</p><p>Stephenson ponders a wealth of subjects, from movies and politics to David Foster Wallace and the Midwestern College Town; video games to classics-based sci-fi; how geekdom has become cool and how science fiction has become mainstream; the future of publishing and the origins of his novels.</p><p>By turns amusing and profound, critical and celebratory, yet always entertaining, <em>Some Remarks</em> offers a fascinating look into the prismatic mind of this extraordinary writer.</p>
