Lamina1 is enough to prove Stephenson is kind of full of shit.
It’s such a joke it doesn’t even have its own Wikipedia entry. It’s just a footnote on Stephenson’s.
I’m just gonna call it like I sees it:
I put Stephenson in the same camp as Orson Scott Card.
He had a single book with some really brilliant and thoughtful ideas… and that’s about it. People need money to stay alive, and can always be swayed by it.
