June 19: Neal Stephenson in Austin
The Forrest Four-Cast: June 14, 2019
Catch visionary cyberpunk author Neal Stephenson at BookPeople in Austin (603 North Lamar Blvd) on Wednesday, June 19 at 7:00 pm
Stephenson will be talking about his new release “Fall; or, Dodge in Hell,” which builds on the success of previous works like “Snow Crash,” “The Diamond Age,” and “Cryptonomicon.”
A grand drama of analog and digital, man and machine, angels and demons, gods and followers, the finite and the eternal, “Fall; or, Dodge in Hell” raises profound existential questions and touches on the revolutionary breakthroughs that are transforming our future. Combining the technological, philosophical, and spiritual in one grand myth, Stephenson again delivers a mind-blowing speculative literary saga for the modern age.
