Maybe have concentric rings with gates that open at 1, 10, 100 and 1000 year intervals to keep things simple?

- alasdair_ 6y agoI never managed to finish that one. Worth it in the end?
- drxzcl 6y agoOnly if you like Stephenson Endings.
- alasdair_ 6y agoI liked Snow Crash, Diamond Age, Cryptonomicon, Interface, Zodiak and even REAMDE and The Big U and cobweb (to an extent). I never finished the Baroque cycle though, despite buying the first book in hardback in day one. I also never quite finished Dodge in Hell either but probably will some day.
- michaelt 6y agoI think it's one of Stephenson's better books. But if you've reached the sixfold voco about 2/5ths of the way in and you're still not enjoying it, it might not be your thing.
- arethuza 6y agoI don't think the rings of the maths were concentric - didn't each one have their own separate gate - the tenners gate led directly outside the walls, not into the unary math?
