Stephenson jumps ship for Atlantic

Cryptonomicon author Neal Stephenson has moved from Heinemann to Atlantic Books to be reunited with former editor Ravi Mirchandani.

Mirchandani, who became Atlantic's editor-in-chief last year, bought UK and Commonwealth excluding Canada rights in Neal Stephenson's new novel, Anathem, from the Sayle Literary Agency.

Mirchandani said: "Anathem manages to remind the reader of H G Wells, Umberto Eco and Mervyn Peake and yet be entirely and gloriously itself. I am entirely delighted Stephenson will be joining us at Atlantic."
