Description
“Stephenson has a once-in-a-generation gift: he makes complex ideas clear, and he makes them funny, heartbreaking, and thrilling.” —Time The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anathem, Neal Stephenson is continually rocking the literary world with his brazen and brilliant fictional creations—whether he’s reimagining the past (The Baroque Cycle), inventing the future (Snow Crash), or both (Cryptonomicon). With Reamde, this visionary author whose mind-stretching fiction has been enthusiastically compared to the work of Thomas Pynchon, Don DeLillo, Kurt Vonnegut, and David Foster Wallace—not to mention William Gibson and Michael Crichton—once again blazes new ground with a high-stakes thriller that will enthrall his loyal audience, science and science fiction, and espionage fiction fans equally. The breathtaking tale of a wealthy tech entrepreneur caught in the very real crossfire of his own online fantasy war game, Reamde is a new high—and a new world—for the remarkable Neal Stephenson.

The heavies

Neal Stephenson has a three-volume fantasy in one 1.3 kilo book (in the paperback edition). He gets a fellowship together, separates them out for their individual adventures, and then brings them together at the end to fight the Enemy. He throws in elves and so forth through a computer game which provides part of the continuity, and the Enemy is that hoary staple of the 21st century: a bunch of jihadis.

It does not work. In all such books the machination of the plot has to be hidden under la...
