I'm sorta curious about Mongoliad. I love Stephenson, but the idea of this online collaborative writing kinda makes me cringe. It sounds like writing by committee, which is almost universally bad. I have a hard time picturing this as an improvement in any way. But I'm open to being proved wrong.
A-ha! You *finally* acknowledged the absurdity of demanding that if we only do one thing today, it should be this one particular thing, followed by a demand to do a different particular thing on that same day, with the same conditions... all with a simple "or". Thank you!
