first edition
New York; (1999)
by Stephenson, Neal
New York; (1999): Avon Books. First Edition. Octavo. 918pp. Signed by the author on a plate. Stephenson became a Hugo Award nominee for best novel. A prelude to the author's "Baroque Cycle" of novels. This work is a breathtaking tour de force, and his most accomplished and affecting work to date. This work is profound and prophetic, hypnotic and hyper-driven, as it leaps forward and back between World War II and the World Wide Web, hinting all the while at a dark day-after-tomorrow. A fine copy bound in black paper covered boards, spine lettering gilt, in near fine unclipped dust jacket. [Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-1075.].
