"The last chapter of Dooling's new work, Rapture for the Geeks: When AI Outsmarts IQ, considers what will happen to religious belief in the coming age of Higher Tech. It includes the opening chapters of the book of Genesis as if they had been rewritten by Microsoft contract lawyers ("The Source Code of Good and Evil you shall NOT view, for the day you view it you will surely die"), then tweaked by our coming open-source friendly robot overlords ("The one true God runs the universe in UNIX")."

He then dives into the details that are most likely to be of interest to software developers: employment agreements, software licenses, copyleft, reverse engineering, and formalizing a project by creating a non-profit organization.

"Neal Stephenson’s new novel, ANATHEM, germinated in 01999 when Danny Hillis asked him and several other contributors to sketch out their ideas of what the Millennium Clock might look like. Stephenson tossed off a quick sketch and promptly forgot about it. Five years later however, when he was between projects, the idea came back to him, and he began to explore the possibility of building a novel around it. ANATHEM is the result, and will be released on September 9th, 02008."

"A bill pending in Congress would require publishers to sell “unbundled” versions of the books — minus the pricey add-ons. Even more important, it would require publishers to reveal book prices in marketing material so that professors could choose less-expensive titles."
