Neal Stephenson takes the long view
The novelist's latest, 'Anathem,' creates a world where the bookish are sequestered from the fast-paced world, minding a clock that runs for thousands of years.

SEATTLE -- For all of Neal Stephenson's achievements, his most impressive may be his ability to attract a following equal parts hacker and literati. His popularity is all the more anomalous because his books are always long and often difficult. His last project, "The Baroque Cycle," was a fictional trilogy about the birth of capitalism and the history of science, set partly in 17th century London, stretching almost 2,700 pages and written with a fountain pen.
His ambitious new novel, "Anathem," imagines a world dominated by casinos, shopping malls and tire shops -- except for the walled monasteries where the devout gather to contemplate big issues in the shadow of a clock that runs for thousands of years.
They give up, needless to say, almost all contact with the secular world as well as most of its worldly pleasures.
