More Science = Better Fiction

The Physics Channel Exclusive Series 'Anathem: Second Advent' chronicles the arrival of the spaceship 'Daban Urnud' at Earth, as described by author Neal Stephenson in his New York Times Best Seller and award winning novel 'Anathem:

What happened in the Second Advent—on Laterre? asked Suur Moyra.

I will skip the details. It was not as bad as Tro. But in every cosmos they visit, there is upheaval. The Advent lasts anywhere from twenty to a couple of hundred years. With or without your cooperation, the Daban Urnud will be rebuilt completely. None of your political institutions, none of your religions, will survive in their current form. Wars will be fought. Some of your people will be aboard the new version of the ship when it finally moves on to some other Narrative.

As you were, I take it, when it left Laterre? asked Lodoghir.

Oh, no. That was my great-grandfather, said the visitor. My ancestors lived through the voyage to Fthos and the Third Advent. I was born on Fthos. Similar things will probably happen here.

Featuring music by David Stutz from the album 'Iolet: Music from the World of Anathem', 'Anathem: Second Advent' continues the Physics Channel's mission of bringing original, science-based fiction to Television audiences in North America and around the world.

The Book 'Anathem' and the Album 'Iolet: Music from the World of Anathem' are available on Amazon.com.
