Love the Anathem video – I read the novel 3 times in a week and out of the 170+ novels I read this year, Anathem has been a once in a decade experience for me – just tickled all the things I love in sf and that still makes sf my favorite form of literature.
The video is actually very well done, in the spirit of the novel, pretty much all scenes are from the novel including the martial arts ones and the characters look as I would image then.
And the analemna at the end is just superb.
