are you a fan of tim powers?
Will I read Neal Stephenson's new science fiction novel 'Fall; or Dodge in Hell', about cryonics and whole-brain emulations? Damned right I will.
Do I wish he could release a version of it that's less than 880 pages? Yeah, I kinda do.

I’m old enough to remember Reader’s Digest Condensed Books. My parents subscribed, and I read a lot of books that way as a kid. Wish they were still around.

They're now sold as 'Executive Book Summaries' and are sold at 100 times the price. http://bit.ly/2WjiEnx http://bit.ly/2WgMCsB

I don’t. I wouldn’t want one of his books to be a page shorter. More to enjoy.

Seveneves would have benefitted from being at least a third shorter, especially at the end.

Exactly. I buy all his books but he writes faster than I can read.
