Ah, my archnemesis Dan Brown. So we meet again....

[Conains Angel & Demons minor spoiler]

Today, I picked up Angels & Demons as a vacation read. It's the prequel to The da Vinci Code featuring the Robert Langdon character and is being turned into a film (2008). If you remember a few weeks ago I was complaining about author Dan Brown's throwaway use of Newton. Now, I find out that Angels & Demons has a segment about a physicist who creates matter ex nihilo. Yeesh. This is getting ridiculous! Plus, this is mostly a throwaway idea used to set up a standard beat-the-clock plot. I am now convinced that Dan Brown is part of an evil conspiracy bent on trivializing my work by spewing chaff into the literary ether. Dan Brown my archnemesis, we meet again!
