Tickets and pre-signed books are now sold out for the Anathem book launch event on September 9th, 02008 in San Francisco. The evening will include a reading by Neal Stephenson, a followup conversation with Danny Hillis and Stewart Brand, and a short live concert of the music inspired by the book. There will even be a martial arts demonstration of Shovel-Fu from the the book.
As time allows, Neal has agreed to do some inscriptions after the reading.

There will be one line for general admission and one line for Long Now Members, I would recommend arriving as early as possible to get in line for good seats.
