Neal Stephenson

Wired har en kortintervju med författaren Neal Stephenson. Det vore kul om hans kommande bok, Quicksilver, fanns i handeln innan nästa långa flygresa. :)
Jag älskade Cryptonomicon, och räknar med att gilla den här också.

He spent the last seven years immersed in the 17th century, working on a three-book series set during the scientific revolution. Certainly, The Baroque Cycle has scope: The ancestors of Cryptonomicon characters cross paths with Isaac Newton and his peers against a backdrop of several continents, a couple of wars, and one fundamental change in the way humans view the world. In the context of the 1600s, Stephenson examines the nature of money, the interdependency of Europe, and the consequences of transformative scientific advances.
