It’s a great pleasure to host this evening with a great American writer, leading thinker and commentator on issues from mathematics, cryptography, and philosophy, to the history of science and technology. In Some Remarks he looks at movies and politics, how geekdom has become cool, how science fiction has become mainstream, the future of publishing, and the origins of his novels. This evening will be a fascinating insight into the mind of one of the most talented and creative authors writing today.
