Groovy Anathem Tie-Ins

Parts of Anathem were inspired by the real-life clock project of the Long Now Foundation, which also inspired this excellent essay from Michael Chabon (linked to from the foundation's site). If you really want to geek out, hey, there's music! At this point, though, I've about had enough and cast my gaze onto more immediate, low-brow concerns.

    If you haven't seen the model in the technology museum it is worth a trip. The model is probably 10 feet tall and is impressively static. I still wonder how it works.

    Plus the long now clock is designed to last about 10 thousand years.

    I liked the book a ton.
