Also writes under pseudonym Stephen Bury. The Baroque Cycle has been published (originally) in a three-volume and (subsequently) in an eight-volume edition. DO NOT combine works with "Baroque Cycle #2" and different titles. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME. "Quicksilver" is the first volume of both - there are two different books, both named "Quicksilver, Baroque Cycle #1". "The System of the World, Baroque Cycle #3" and "The System of the World, Baroque Cycle #8" are different books.

Added by KingRat. Bagdad Theater & Pub: Powell's Books Presents Neal Stephenson (September 16 at 19:00) Neal Stephenson promotes Anathem. Neal Stephenson's most recent series of novels, the critically acclaimed THE BAROQUE CYCLE (comprised of Quicksilver, The Confusion, and The System of the World) hit bestseller lists across the United States and Canada – in the New York Times, USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, ... (more)the Los Angeles Times, Maclean's among others -- demonstrating that a writer long loved by a faithful (and ever-expanding) circle of readers had taken the international success he'd enjoyed with his modern classic Cryptonomicon to entirely new levels.
The last novel in THE BAROQUE CYCLE appeared four years ago, this autumn; and now William Morrow is very happy to bring to an eagerly anticipating world his new novel, ANATHEM.
Since childhood, nineteen-year old Raz has lived behind the walls of a 3,400 year old monastery -- a sanctuary for scientists, philosophers, and mathematicians; for those who live (and thrive, living) the life of the mind. Within their sanctuary he and his cohorts are safely sealed off from the world outside: an illiterate, irrational, unpredictable world; an endless landscape of casinos and megastores, plagued by recurring booms and busts, dark ages and reawakenings, wars between individuals and among nations.
Then, one day, it is decided that only the likes of Raz – and his friends, his mentors, his teachers – have the abilities to avert certain doom for both the world without as well as the world within. So, leaving their sanctuary behind, they go forth to discover what awaits them, and to discover, precisely, what they will in fact be able to do.
Neal Stephenson has said that ANATHEM is "a fictional framework for exploring ideas that have sprung from the minds of great thinkers of Earth's past and present." Told on a panoramic scale and with a boldness rarely seen today in fiction of any genre, Stephenson draws with bold strokes and rich humor, capturing with small, telling details and images a world where imagination and technology have intertwined in wondrous – and unexpected – ways.
