"He's like totally orsum!!! He'll like just totally present a like philosophical concept, LOL, sooooo kewl!!" Honey, you just made sure I never read Neal Stephenson...
I was always a fan of the passage from quicksilver after Issac and Daniel had been conducting the needle experiment. something along the lines "by the next morning Daniel knew more about the human eye than anyone who had ever lived, save Issac. The experiment could have been performed by anyone. Only one person had actually done it."
I meant the Anathem passage. He often gives me the willies when discussing race. Borderline TeaBagger shit. "Why can't all of our differences be ignored? Why is talking about race automatically racist?" The only people saying that are White, meaning they feel race shouldn't be important. Try telling that to the Irish or Chinese or whomever. Race matters and being proud of it isn't isolating; it's impowering. That is, as long as a White person doesn't feel challenged by it.

His books serve the same role as sport and entertainment do for corporate employees, just like a passage from his book read.

OMG I just dog-eared that passage myself. I've re-read it several times. Sad but brilliant.
