The novel "Anathem" by Neal Stephenson was published for the first time in 2008. It won the Locus Award as the best science fiction novel of the year.

Fraa Erasmas of the Concent of Saunt Edhar spends his life following the discipline of the avout, the intellectuals who isolate themselves from the outside world renouncing the use of almost all technologies. Also thanks to the guidance of his mentor Fraa Orolo, he tries to assimilate the teachings of the great Saunts of the past.

The activity of the concent is disturbed for reasons Fraa Erasmas doesn't understand, with important consequences on several avouts. When he discovers that Fraa Orolo was keeping an eye on something in the sky, he ends up involved in a story that will have an impact that needs to be thoroughly assessed and that goes far beyond the planet Arbre.

DRUNK REVIEW: Anathem by Neal Stephenson

“Basically something funky is going on and the world outside of the convent needs smart people (aka nerd) assistance.” - @ginnypomm DRUNK REVIEW: Anathem by Neal Stephenson - reviewed by Ginny #willreadforbooze

Anathem by Neal Stephenson Reviewed by GGGinny What I drank: White wine. And honestly, I think I need to pour another glass of something to talk about this piece of shit book that stole like three weeks out of my life (while also living a happy life and reading probably 10 other books).

Anathem

Anathem by Neal Stephenson

Fraa Erasmas is a young avout living in the Concent of Saunt Edhar, a sanctuary for mathematicians, scientists, and philosophers, protected from the corrupting influences of the outside "saecular" world by ancient stone, honored traditions, and complex rituals. Over the centuries, cities and governments have risen and fallen beyond the concent's walls. Three times during history's darkest epochs violence born of superstition and ignorance has invaded and devastated the cloistered mathic community. Yet the avout have always managed to adapt in the wake of catastrophe, becoming out of necessity even more austere and less dependent on technology and material things. And Erasmas has no fear of the outside—the Extramuros—for the last of the terrible times was long, long ago. Now, in celebration of the week-long, once-in-a-decade rite of Apert, the fraas and suurs prepare to venture beyond the concent's gates—at the same time opening them wide to welcome the curious "extras" in. During his first Apert as a fraa, Erasmas eagerly anticipates reconnecting with the landmarks and family he hasn't seen since he was "collected." But before the week is out, both the existence he abandoned and the one he embraced will stand poised on the brink of cataclysmic change. Powerful unforeseen forces jeopardize the peaceful stability of mathic life and the established ennui of the Extramuros—a threat that only an unsteady alliance of saecular and avout can oppose—as, one by one, Erasmas and his colleagues, teachers, and friends are summoned forth from the safety of the concent in hopes of warding off global disaster. Suddenly burdened with a staggering responsibility, Erasmas finds himself a major player in a drama that will determine the future of his world—as he sets out on an extraordinary odyssey that will carry him to the most dangerous, inhospitable corners of the planet . . . and beyond.

Il romanzo "Anathem" ("Anathem") di Neal Stephenson è stato pubblicato per la prima volta nel 2008. Ha vinto il premio Locus come miglior romanzo di fantascienza dell'anno. In italia è stato pubblicato da Rizzoli in "Rizzoli HD" in due volumi intitolati "Anathem - Il pellegrino" e "Anathem - Il nuovo cielo" nella traduzione di Valentina Ricci.

Fraa Erasmas del Concento di Saunt Edhar trascorre la sua vita seguendo la disciplina degli avout, gli intellettuali che si isolano dal mondo esterno rinunciando all'uso di quasi tutte le tecnologie. Anche grazie alla guida del suo mentore Fraa Orolo, cerca di assimilare gli insegnamenti dei grandi Saunt del passato.

L'attività del concento viene disturbata per motivi che Fraa Erasmas non comprende, con conseguenze importanti su diversi avout. Quando scopre che Fraa Orolo stava tenendo d'occhio qualcosa nel cielo, finisce coinvolto in una vicenda che avrà un'influenza tutta da valutare che va molto oltre il pianeta Arbre.
