SFX magazine #8 Jan 1996 / SFX Profile: Neal Stephenson "The new William Gibson" Diamond Geezer His books are multi-layered adventures, mixing tomorrow's technology with yesterday's archetypes to create one of contemporary SF's most convincing visions of the future. Dark-eyed and intense, with a dry sense of humour, Neal Stephenson has been called "the Quentin Tarantino of post-cyberpunk science fiction." Mary Branscome uncovered him at a Kensington hotel during a promotion tour for his most recent novel, The Diamond Age... Neal Stephenson has only written four-and-a-half novels (the half being Interface , a collaboration with his uncle which went out under the pen-name "Stephen Bury"), and not all of them pure SF, but he's already been called - by Bruce Sterling, no less - "the hottest science fiction writer in America." His breakthrough came, of course with Snow Crash , probably the most successful SF novel of 1993 and 1994 put together, and the book that established him as the sort of trendy, must-read author who gets his stories published in Wired and Time magazines.

By Andrew Leonard May 19, 1999 T o make a sweeping, possibly unfair generalization about an entire swath of humanity, computer geeks come in at least two distinct subspecies. One is familiar from popular culture the unkempt, hairy, paunchy recluse lacking in social graces. An ugly stereotype, to be sure, but these people do exist. Less well-known is the second kind of geek, the kind of guy Julius Caesar feared the lean and hungry geek. These geeks come in compact packages, thin and wiry. They sport close-shaved goatees rather than long hair and rabbinical beards. They regard the world with blazingly intense eyes, taking in everything, evaluating it, wondering how to fix it. These are the visionaries, the geeks who don't like to waste their time doing unimportant, boring stuff. Their impatience is reflected physically: Their bodies shiver with a nervous, tightly contained energy, just waiting to explode into the "flow" of all-night coding sessions, or, in the case of Neal Stephenson, 900-page novels.

Why I am a Bad Correspondent by Neal Stephenson Writers who do not make themselves totally available to everyone, all the time, are frequently tagged with the "recluse" label. While I do not consider myself a recluse, I have found it necessary to place some limits on my direct interactions with individual readers. These limits most often come into play when people send me letters or e-mail, and also when I am invited to speak publicly. This document is a sort of form letter explaining why I am the way I am. When I read a novel that I really like, I feel as if I am in direct, personal communication with the author. I feel as if the author and I are on the same wavelength mentally, that we have a lot in common with each other, and that we could have an interesting conversation, or even a friendship, if the circumstances permitted it. When the novel comes to an end, I feel a certain letdown, a loss of contact. It is natural to want to recapture that feeling by reading other works by the same author, or by corresponding with him/her directly. All of this seems perfectly reasonable-I should know, since I have had these feelings myself! But it turns out to be a bad idea. To begin with, a novel has roughly the same relationship to a conversation with the author, as a movie does to the actors in it. A movie represents many person-years of work distilled into two hours, and so everything sounds and looks perfect. But if you have ever met a movie actor in person, you know that they are not quite as dazzling and witty (or as tall) as the figures they play in movies. This seems obvious but it always comes as a bit of a letdown anyway.

26. Smiley's People neal stephenson's antismiley screed from The New Republic. http://www.spesh.com/lee/ns/smiley.html

Smiley's people Neal Stephenson Source: The New Republic September 13, 1993 With the eerie uniformity of airport cultists, emoticon users all proffer the same rationale for the smiley tic: since the streams of ascii characters flowing across the Internet (usually described as "cold," "mechanistic," etc.) cannot carry body language or tone, the missing cues must be supplied through punctuation. The tendency of writers to bungle their attempts at sarcasm, and of readers to bungle the detection of it, invariably leads (so the argument goes) to hurt feelings, which in turn leads to network "flame wars" in which people insult each other in extravagant terms that would never be used face- to-face. Irony, it seems, is like nitroglycerin: too tricky to be good for much, and so best left in the hands of fanatics or trained professionals. Never addressed by such people is the question of how humans have managed to communicate with the written word for thousands of years without strewing crudely fashioned ideograms across their parchments. It is as if the written word were a cutting-edge technology without useful precedents. Some hackers actually go so far as to maintain, with a straight face (:-I), that words on a computer screen are different from words on paperimplying that writers of e-mail have nothing useful to learn from Dickens or Hemingway, and that time spent reading old books might be better spent coming up with new emoticons. Other smiley partisans maintain that, since many messages are tossed off extemporaneously, the medium has more in common with talking than writing, hence the need for emoticons. This neatly sidesteps the awkward fact that what these people are engaged in is, in fact, nothing other than plain old writing and reading, and that, as always, they may have to invest some time and effort in the act if they don't want to mess it up.

As time goes on, we hope that it will develop into something a little more than that. We don't know how it will come out. It's an experiment. Why put the information on such a complicated system, when a simple FAQ is easier? Because we are hoping that the annotations of the book on this site will seed a body of knowledge called the Metaweb, which will eventually be something more generally useful than a list of FAQs about one and only one novel.

Neal Stephenson Rewrites History For the dark prince of hacker fiction, looking backward is another way of seeing the future. By Robert Levine Joe Toreno Neal Stephenson has always been fascinated by history. Cryptonomicon explored the science of secrets during World War II, and The Diamond Age riffed on Victorian sensibilities. Now he's looking backward even further. 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. The writing schedule is ambitious, too: The first book, Quicksilver , is out this month, and the next two will follow at six-month intervals. Stephenson took the time to tell

Neal Stephenson The Prophet of The Diamond Age Biography Bibliography Downloads Links ... Vaca Loca World How can I convince you that Neal Stephenson is one of the best writers in Science Fiction in this Millennium crazed era? I can't force you to go out and buy his books, I can only tell you that he is going to be a major inspiration in the upcoming years. His works are deep, full of a rich prose that grabs you by the throat and doesn't release you until you have reached the last page. I must give you a warning though, Stephenson is quite addictive, his worlds and characters are so masterfully constructed that you will probably end up in a dizzied state after reading them. I have been surprised by the increasing popularity and influence Stephenson is achieving. The most pleasant one came when I was playing the new game Civilization: Call to Power . After years of toil, your civilization can achieve a "Diamond Age" in which nanotechnology is one of the main atttributes (you are able to clean the environment and defuse all nuclear weapons). Check out the movie for the Nanopedia wonder, it is taken right out of The Diamond Age! (I hope Activision is paying royalties to Mr. Stephenson).

Feedback Neal Stephenson's message in code After Snow Crash's cyberpunk, it's cypherpunk, reports Jim McClellan Thursday October 14, 1999 The Guardian A 900-page novel that hops between world war two code breaking and modern hacker culture, covering cryptography and cypherpunk politics, occasionally making space for lengthy digressions on the maths behind cryptosystems or the correct way to eat Captain Crunch breakfast cereal; let's be honest - it doesn't sound like a sure fire commercial hit. And I haven't even mentioned the appendix, by the encryption expert Bruce Schneier, about Solitaire, a real encryption system which uses a simple deck of cards and crops up in the novel under a different name. Nevertheless, when it was published in America, at the start of the summer, Cryptonomicon, by American SF author Neal Stephenson, made the best seller charts, even briefly knocking Harry Potter off the top of the Amazon.com list. The high ranking is a tribute to Stephenson's status in techno-cultural circles. Put simply, he is the computer geek's author of choice. Mainstream critics still think that William Gibson holds that position - thanks to his invention of the term cyberspace (in his groundbreaking 1984 novel Neuromancer). But Snow Crash, Stephenson's 1992 novel, changed all that. It wasn't just the book's vision of a virtual world (called The Street).

Search: Wired News Webmonkey Animation Express HotWired Archives Wired Magazine The Web -> HotBot for Neal Stephenson, cyberpunk visionary and author of Snow Crash , joined us in Club Wired on Thursday, 19 January 1995 to talk about his latest novel, The Diamond Age (released this month by Bantam Spectra). In The Diamond Age , Stephenson looks decades into the future, to a neo-Victorian society where nations are obsolete and microscopic computers make possible everything from skyscrapers made of diamond to skull guns - small but deadly voice-activated cannons concealed in the cranium. It's in this world that John Percival Hackworth is commissioned by an eccentric duke to create an interactive device called the "Young Lady's Illustrated Primer" - intended to raise a girl who is capable of thinking for herself. But when the book accidentally falls into the hands of Nell, an underclass girl, her life, and perhaps her world, are decoded and reprogrammed. woneill asks: Gibson says he didn't use a computer when writing Neuromancer and I feel like he didn't quite get the pulse of the computer age. After reading your Snow Crash book, you seemed to really know the "computer culture". How much exposure to the Internet, etc. had you had at the time? Not much at the time. At the time I wrote Snow Crash, which was in late 1990/early 91, I had a lot of time under my belt messing around with computers (since the mid-'70's) but not that much net time just a bit of messing around on CompuServe and the like.
