Back to The Big U, that is, a hilarious send-up of American college life starring after years our of print, The Big U is required reading for anyone interested in the early work of this singular writer.

Arbre gezegeninde, disarinin tahrip edici etkilerinden etrafina cevrilmis yuksek duvarlarla korunan bir duzenin Matik ortaminda kadin ve erkekler teknolojiden uzak, sade ve sakin bir hayat surmektedir. Bilim ve felsefenin ogrenildigi, ogretildigi ve yasandigi bu dunyanin kapilari, duruma bagli olarak yilda, on yilda ya da yuzyilda bir on gun gibi, belli araliklarla acilarak kulturlerarasi iletisime izin verilmektedir. Fraa Erasmas parlak bir avuttur, farkli dunyalarin getireceklerinden korkmaz; tam tersine, acmamasi gereken kapilari acmakla sira disi bir cesaret ornegi gosterir. Gokyuzunde beliren bir cisim ve ardindan gelisen olaylar sonucunda Fraa Erasmas, dis dunyada birakmak zorunda kaldigi benligiyle ve kendisinden koparilan sevdigiyle tekrar birlesecegi zorlu bir yolculuga cikar. Bu yolculukta onu kutuplarin dondurucu sogugu, kendisini linc etmeye calisan kana susamis bir guruh, tehlikeli bir uzay yolculugu beklemektedir. Bir kitap dusunun, her seyin hizla tuketildigi bir dunyanin karsisina yavaslamayi ve uzun vadeli dusunmeyi koyan kuresel bir dusunce akiminin basucu kitabi olsun. Bir roman dusunun, felsefe tarihini, dunya tarihini, bir gelecek dunya tahayyulunu, bir gecmis dunya elestirisini, bilime dair ahlaki bir dersi, kuantum dunyasinin sirlarina acilan bir kapiyi anlatsin bize. Iste bunlarin hepsidir Anathem. Ama her seyden once, soluksuz okuyacaginiz bir macera, bir ask ve benlik arayisi romanidir Anathem. Bence bu sahane bir roman. Lutfen yarida birakmayin! Bu kitabin cok yogun oldugu soyleniyor; biliyorum, cok kisi pes edecek. Lutfen yapmayin! Eger birakirsaniz cok sey kacirmis olacaksiniz. -Andrew McKie, Telegraph- (Tanitim Bulteninden)

For ten years Fraa Erasmas, a young avout, has lived in a cloistered sanctuary for mathematicians, scientists, and philosophers, protected from the corrupting influences of the outside world. But before the week is out, both the existence he abandoned and the one he embraced will stand poised on the brink of cataclysmic change-and Erasmas will become a major player in a drama that will determine the future of his world, as he follows his destiny to the most inhospitable corners of the planet . . . and beyond.

(Il mondo in cui è cresciuto il giovane Erasmas non esiste...)
Il mondo in cui è cresciuto il giovane Erasmas non esiste più. Tutto è cambiato nel corso delle avventure vissute nel primo volume della saga di Anathem. Non più la serena vita di studio e riflessione all’interno del convento, ma un viaggio fuori dalle mura, nelle terre governate dal Potere Secolare, verso l’evento più sconvolgente della storia millenaria del pianeta Arbre: il contatto con una civiltà aliena. I Geometri – così chiamati perché sulla loro astronave è disegnato il più famoso dei teoremi – non sono fisicamente molto diversi dagli arbriani, hanno elaborato, grazie ai loro sapienti, analoghe teorie sul tempo, lo spazio e gli universi paralleli, e soprattutto sono divisi dagli stessi conflitti che attraversano Arbre. La posta in gioco è una trattativa che dice salvezza o distruzione. Stephenson ha scritto un romanzo che fa dimenticare al lettore ogni cosa, trascinandolo in un’apnea degna della grande letteratura d’avventura.

(Cryptonomicon is a 1999 novel by American author Neal Ste...)
Cryptonomicon is a 1999 novel by American author Neal Stephenson. The novel follows the exploits of two groups of people in two different time periods, presented in alternating chapters. The first group is World War II-era Allied codebreakers and tactical-deception operatives affiliated with the Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park, as well as disillusioned Axis military and intelligence figures whom they encounter. The second narrative is set in the late 1990s with descendants of the first narrative's characters employing cryptologic, telecom and computer technology to build an underground data haven in the fictional Sultanate of Kinakuta. Their goal is to facilitate anonymous Internet banking using electronic money and (later) digital gold currency, with a longer range objective to distribute Holocaust Education and Avoidance Pod (HEAP) media for instructing genocide-target populations on defensive warfare.

(From his triumphant debut with Snow Crash to the stunning...)
From his triumphant debut with Snow Crash to the stunning success of his latest novel, Quicksilver, Neal Stephenson has quickly become the voice of a generation. In this now-classic political thriller, he and fellow author J. Frederick George tell a savagely witty, chillingly topical tale set in the tense moments of the Gulf War. When a foreign exchange student is found murdered at an Iowa University, Deputy Sheriff Clyde Banks finds that his investigation extends far beyond the small college town—all the way to the Middle East. Shady events at the school reveal that a powerful department is using federal grant money for highly dubious research. And what it’s producing is a very nasty bug. Navigating a plot that leads from his own backyard to Washington, D.C., to the Gulf, where his Army Reservist wife has been called to duty, Banks realizes he may be the only person who can stop the wholesale slaughtering of thousands of Americans. It’s a lesson in foreign policy he’ll never forget.

A #1 New York Times Bestseller, Anathem is perhaps the most brilliant literary invention to date from the incomparable Neal Stephenson, who rocked the world with Snow Crash, Cryptonomicon, and The Baroque Cycle. Now he imagines an alternate universe where scientists, philosophers, and mathematicians live in seclusion behind ancient monastery walls until they are called back into the world to deal with a crisis of astronomical proportions. Anathem won the Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel and the reviews for have been dazzling: “Brilliant” (South Florida Sun-Sentinel), “Daring” (Boston Globe), “Immensely entertaining” (New York Times Book Review), “A tour de force” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch), while Time magazine proclaims, “The great novel of ideas…has morphed into science fiction, and Neal Stephenson is its foremost practitioner.”
