- About 7/5 on the weirdness scale of the other books. It was out of print for quite a while. Strange things happen at a thinly disguised Boston University. The Citgo sign becomes The Big Red Wheel.
Zodiac
- About 1/5 on the weirdness scale, except for the protagonist himself, who is about a 3/5. Modern thriller about pollution in Boston Harbor.
Interface
- About a 2/5 weirdness: a candidate runs for US President, aided by a direct brain interface that feeds immediate polling results and media reactions.
Was going to mention Interface! It's very much Cambridge Analytica vibes - you feel that there are teams as described doing pretty much the same things, just without the direct brain interface.
Personally, I think Anathem is the best of his works, although I enjoyed DODO - the sequel, which he wasn't directly involved with was less good though.
The Big U
