I just finished Polostan, and I think Doctorow's review is spot-on, nice to see another writer I like quite a bit so enthusiastic about both the strengths and quirks of the novel. I hadn't thought about it, but he and Stephenson…
Neal Stephenson has a brand new book out this month called Polostan. It's my favorite Stephenson book in a while. It's historical fiction in the Cryptonmicon genre.
Polostan went down very easy. only read Anathem, Snow Crash, Reamde, Fall;, and Cryptonomicon. Plolostan was a novella compared to those. finished in a day or two on vacation and im a sorta slow reader i like…
…to learn enough about the man to write his obituary. It was hard work. > When was the last time you read a full length chapter book for fun? I have about 25 on the go currently. Most recent start was Polostan by Neal Stephenson. I also have 1 print magazine subscription on top of that, but mostly, I read online now, several tens of thousands of words a day every day. I think it is far to say I am a big and…
……在他书里扯到题外话，我猜是因为他刚了解了相关的大量知识，忍不住想把这些内容塞进某个地方。Stephenson 在《Polostan》的 Long Now 发布会[0]上聊到了这一点，差不多证实了你的猜测。他还接着说自己已经学会收敛并避开那些“兔子洞”了。他在《Polostan》里避免了这类题外话，但在我看来这反而削弱了……
…tangent in his books, I assume it's because he just recently learned a lot about it and feels compelled to put that info somewhere. Stephenson discussed this a bit in the Long Now launch event[0] for "Polostan" and more or less confirmed what you suspect. He also went on to say that he has learned to reel that in and avoid those "rabbit holes". He avoids such digressions in Polostan, in my opinion to the detriment…
Neal Stephenson just dropped Polostan, I’m deeply into it right now :) Regarding scrolling, well, it does serve a certain purpose, too. Our brains evolved to be in the standby mode as much as possible, and without some serious gene splicing…
我刚读完《Polostan》，觉得 Doctorow 的书评说得太准了，很高兴看到另一位我相当喜欢的作家对这部小说的优点和怪癖都这么热情。我之前没想过，但他和 Stephenson……

Neal Stephenson 这个月刚出了一本新书叫《Polostan》。这是我近期最喜欢的 Stephenson 作品。属于《Cryptonomicon》那种风格的历史小说。

《Polostan》读起来很轻松。我只读过《Anathem》、《Snow Crash》、《Reamde》、《Fall;》和《Cryptonomicon》。跟那些比起来，《Polostan》就像一部中篇小说。度假时一两天就读完了，而我还算是个读书慢的人，我喜欢……

……去充分了解这个人以写出他的讣告。真是件苦差事。> 你上次纯为了消遣读一本完整的章节书是什么时候？我现在手头大概有25本正在读。最近刚开坑的是 Neal Stephenson 的《Polostan》。除此之外我还订了一本纸质杂志，但现在大部分时间我都是在线阅读，每天读好几万字。我觉得完全可以说我是个阅读大户而且……

Neal Stephenson 刚出了《Polostan》，我现在正沉迷其中 :) 至于刷手机嘛，嗯，它也确实有特定的作用。我们大脑进化得尽可能处于待机模式，要是没有一番大刀阔斧的基因改造……
