This is a science fiction by Neal Stephenson set in an alternate universe, where scientists and researchers live in monasteries cut off from the outside world, so that they can do their work without distraction. They dedicate their lives to science like how monks in our world dedicate theirs to God. They are deeply committed to their cause and are ready to sacrifice for what they believe in. This resonated with me. I believe we are all searching for this - our calling in life.
