- enasterosophes 3y agoMe too! I have a feeling that maybe Anathem appeals to the kind of people who themselves would be pushed into a math at a young age, like Barb. If I was on Arbre, there is no way I would have been tolerated in Sæcular society beyond my 11th birthday, and a.s. I'd be in a centenarian by now.

- sdenton4 3y agoI loved Anathem, but also have a PhD in math, and legit dream of ways to think about hard problems without bureaucracy getting in the way. (The war of the flowers was brilliant...)
