Shawn M. Smith writes "Neal Stephenson (Cryptonomicon, The Baroque Cycle) has a new novel coming out in just a couple weeks — Anathem. Boing Boing has an excerpt from the amazing glossary (including a definition for "bulshytt") so take a peak at a copy of an abridged glossary of neologisms and language-bending goodies from the book."

  • Ayn Rand's short novel "Anthem" describes an unlikely dystopia as a background for a presentation of some of her views. That glossary implies a similar setting for Neal's similarly titled new novel.

    Well, we will see after it comes out.

Hmmm ... a CRIPPLED ACCOUNTANT with a FALAFEL sandwich is HIT by a TROLLEY-CAR ...
