Tickets and pre-signed books are now available for the Anathem book launch evening on September 9th, 02008 in San Francisco. The evening will include a reading by Neal Stephenson, a followup conversation with Danny Hillis and Stewart Brand, and a short live concert of the music inspired by the book. There will even be a martial arts demonstration of Shovel-Fu from the the book.
Due to the size of the event, the only way to guarantee a signed copy of the book will be to pre-purchase one through the RSVP and ticket link.
As time allows, Neal has agreed to do some inscriptions after the reading.

General admission tickets are $10, or $42.50* with a pre-signed copy of Anathem (that you pick up at the event).
Long Now Members need to RSVP for their complimentary ticket, and to pre-purchase their signed book. (check your email for the instructions)
