Ah, the vindication of Neal Stephenson! :)
Also: It's been a long time since I read Godel Escher Bach, so I cannot trust this for sure, but at the time I got the feeling there were hints that the book as such ended before the last page, the remainder was just there as filler.
- pacaro 15y agoNeal Stephenson might even have been more effective in some of his novels (I'm looking at you "Diamond Age" - a personal favourite nonetheless) if they had just stopped a chapter or so before the end. I vote more for "What Happens Next" and less for the "Hollywood Ending". Note: in keeping with the theme of the article, I didn't read the second half..
