21. I struggled with Anathem and Seven Eves

wasn't exactly a beach read. I'm 250 pages into Fall and it seems to be about the dissolution of society. There's a story in here somewhere but I'm not sure where he's going with it. Tech and Religion are the emerging themes. Stephenson is kind of throwback. Maybe it's the Libertarian strain but he reminds of Robert Heinlein.
