Anathemish
For Steve.
In September of 2008 the Long Now Foundation hosted the San Francisco book launch for Neal Stephenson’s Anathem. My friend Steve is an avid reader of the works of Mr. Stephenson but was unable to attend due to the fact he lives in Seattle. I attended the event and created this short film to let Steve have a sense of the event. Sadly, the limitations of my video camcorder where such that recording only a portion of the event would be possible. So here is the event, with Neal Stephenson unplugged.
 
(In consolation, I was able to procure a first edition of the book
signed by Mr. Stephenson for Steve.)
All proceeds go to support the artist.
