“It is a great story, set in an alternative reality where people take long-term thinking seriously.” – Danny Hillis
“Long Now’s 10,000-year clock inspired Neal Stephenson’s new story, Anathem, and now Anathem is inspiring the Long Now. In ten centuries, no one will be sure which came first.” – Kevin Kelly
