Neal Stephenson

Maya and I went to Barnes & Noble in Edina tonight to see author Neal Stephenson discuss/sign his new book Anathem. Neal is one of the current generation's best science fiction writers and getting to see him was a real treat (for me) and one of those, 'you are going to go to this because when you are older you'll be glad you did' things for Maya. Maya's Grandma recently finished his book Snow Crash and though her review was mixed she did learn what an 'avatar' is.
