Remember Moab.
- aaronbrethorst 6y agoThe only one of Stephenson's books I've ever given up on.
- beervirus 6y agoIt was not my favorite either. But still better than most of what I read.
- emiliobumachar 6y agoWhat is Moab and why is it relevant? (Memory brings me the Mother of All Bombs, DDG brings me Moab, Utah, USA, and Moab, Jordan)
- mordymoop 6y agoIn Neal Stephenson's most recent novel, Fall, a plot element is what could be described as a fake disaster which transforms into an ongoing dispute over who caused the (fake) disaster, and why the government is trying to cover up the (fake) disaster, and so on. Basically, the Moab event becomes a culture war touchstone, much like the child trafficking ring in the basement of a pizza restaurant. "Remember Moab" is the bumper stick version of this.
