“The central philosophical dispute in “Anathem” is between the Halikaarnians and the Procians, who correspond to Platonic Realism, which argues that concepts and ideas have an existence independent of the people or culture grasping them, and Nominalism, which argues that abstracts are nothing but the construct of the mind.”

“Fogle’s work gives the vivid sense that you’re visiting an ancient cultural gallery, in which the inhabitants themselves were learning as they existed, that new and wondrous things were becoming important to them and needed to be preserved.” - Jimmy Doom
