Anathem rocks. Only problem is, it's hard to describe it without spoiling

The whole alien subplot is revealed about halfway through the book, but it's such a big mystery, you don't want to ruin it for anyone. So I basically say something like "It's about math-obsessed hermetic monks who use weaponized Platonic Epistemology, and it's awesome."
I amuse myself.

As it is a major spoiler for the book, I don't think you'll see it. *NM*

Considering the story as a whole, I strongly disagree that it's a major spolier. *NM*

It ruins the tension of the entire first 1/3 or more of the novel.
