“Stephenson makes reading so much fun it feels like a deadly sin.” - International Herald Tribune
“He deserves to be classified as a major national and international resource.” - Wall Street Journal
“Neal Stephenson has made a name for himself as a writer whose imagination knows no limits.” - Salon
“Stephenson is a maddeningly talented writer who orchestrates the tropes of great thrillers with precision. . . . He continues to be one of the most consistently entertaining and challenging genre novelists.” - Virginia Pilot/Ledger Star
“Good writing is a reader’s first desire, and the result here is an obsessive read. . . . Those familiar with the online gaming world will find themselves in familiar territory. That Stephenson can make that world not just vital but important to non-gamers, to realistically and successfully shed a light on both the social and economic impacts of that world, is a feat worthy of admiration. And of being read.” - Denver Post
“Nobody else writes like Stephenson.” - Press Association (England)
“Neal Stephenson has made a name for himself as a writer whose imagination knows no limits.”

#1 New York Times bestselling author Neal Stephenson is, quite simply, one of the best and most respected writers alive. He's taken sf to places it's never been (Snow Crash, Anathem). He's reinvented the historical novel (The Baroque Cycle), the international thriller (Reamde), and both at the same time (Cryptonomicon). Now he treats his legion of fans to Some Remarks, an enthralling collection of essays-Stephenson's first nonfiction work since his long essay on technology, In the Beginning...Was the Command Line, more than a decade ago-as well as new and previously published short writings both fiction and non. Some Remarks is a magnificent showcase of a brilliantly inventive mind and talent, as he discourses on everything from Sir Isaac Newton to Star Wars.
