Anathem
The latest magnificent creation from the award-winning author of Cryptonomicon and the Baroque Cycle trilogy. Erasmas, 'Raz', is a young avout living in the Concent, a sanctuary for mathematicians, scientists, and philosophers.

But they now prepare to open the Concent's gates to the outside world, in celebration of a once-a-decade rite.
