    It’s spring of 1241, and the West is shitting its pants 
    (that’s “bewraying its kecks” for you medieval time-travelers). 
Euyagh, he's doing another Baroque Cycle? I just re-read that, and while it's not awful, he really is at his best when he's writing about tech.

Snow Crash was good. Interface was good. Diamond Age was okay. The Baroque Cycle was a slog, and Anathem was a blight, a cinderblock of a book full of made-up words and pointless obfuscation.

I am not optimistic about this latest venture, especially considering the buzzword-density on the front page of their site.
