I been reading less but I keep up with #NealStephenson for hard sci fi. I like his recent near future stuff like: Fall; or, #DodgeInHell I'd say it has heart. Neal can be a bit dry but great on the #HardSciFi angle and world building. .https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall;_or,_Dodge_in_Hell

I'm about 400 pages into "Fall, Or Dodge in Hell," and I'm beginning to think that #NealStephenson is playing with #gnostic creation myths.

Well, I'm only 250 pages into it, which isn't much for a #NealStephenson #novel.

However, it seems to be addressing (among many other things) our culture's current struggle with applied #epistemology. This is really interesting for me, although @epistemology is very far above my pay grade. Thus I am having trouble finding words with which to discuss it.

I'm reading "Fall, Or Dodge in Hell," by Neal Stephenson. I have no words.
