It’s All Geek to Me

By NEAL STEPHENSON Published: March 18, 2007 Seattle A WEEK ago Friday, moments before an opening-day showing of the movie “300” at Seattle’s Cinerama, a 20-something moviegoer rushed to the front of the theater, dropped his shoulders, curled his arms into a mock-Schwarzenegger pose and bellowed out a timeless remark of King Leonidas of Sparta that has in the last week become the catchphrase of the year: “Spartans! Tonight we dine in hell!” Groans, roars, macho hooting noises and sardonic applause rained down on him. The audience had been standing in line for an hour. Only a few of them were dressed as Greek hoplites. They were much better balanced between men and women than I’d expected and, racially, looked like a fair cross section of Seattle’s populace. Over the next couple of hours, they enjoyed “300” with roughly the same level of energy and audience participation as one would expect in an N.C.A.A. Final Four game. The film contains a lot of over-the-top material, reflecting its origin in a graphic novel. As often as not, when I found myself rolling my eyes at something particularly mortifying (the tactical corpse-pile avalanche, the Persian executioner with serrated fins for arms), the crowd reacted much as I did, some even hurling catcalls from the balcony or blurting their own lines of dialogue. It was all pretty festive for a movie about ancient history in which almost all of the characters end up dead.

Interface: Neal Stephenson's underappreciated masterpiece
Posted by Cory Doctorow , December 10, 2007 7:06 AM permalink Last week I was rearranging some bookcases and I found myself holding a copy of Interface , the novel Neal Stephenson wrote with his uncle George Jewsbury (AKA J. Frederick George) in 1994. I remember when this book came out; I'd gotten a set of galleys from Bakka Books, the bookstore I'd worked at in Toronto, took them home on a Friday night, and the next thing I knew it was Sunday afternoon and I was holding a finished copy of Interface, my mind whirling, grinning like a mad saint. This is one of those books that you return to again and again as I have just done, reading all 600+ pages of it in stolen moments over the past few days and find something new to like about each time. Bruce Sterling once told me that a technothriller is a "science fiction novel with the President in it," and Interface fits that bill. It's a novel about a lovable, no-bullshit governor of Illinois who suffers a stroke on the eve of the State of the Union address in which a feckless President announces that he is capping the amount of the budget that can go to servicing the national debt. This motivates The Network, a shadowy cartel of financial interests who control most of that debt, to buy the presidency, after installing some interesting neural interface hardware into the governor's head. This is probably Stephenson's most tightly plotted book the kind of thing that proves that the sprawling, sometimes messy plots of books like Snow Crash are deliberate, not an accident or mistake. Like Cryptonomicon, the book is chock full of brilliant, memorable set pieces if you liked the Cryptonomicon exegesis on eating Cap'n Crunch cereal, you will

In the Beginning was the Command Line
by Neal Stephenson
About twenty years ago Jobs and Wozniak, the founders of Apple, came up with the very strange idea of selling information processing machines for use in the home. The business took off, and its founders made a lot of money and received the credit they deserved for being daring visionaries. But around the same time, Bill Gates and Paul Allen came up with an idea even stranger and more fantastical: selling computer operating systems . This was much weirder than the idea of Jobs and Wozniak. A computer at least had some sort of physical reality to it. It came in a box, you could open it up and plug it in and watch lights blink. An operating system had no tangible incarnation at all. It arrived on a disk, of course, but the disk was, in effect, nothing more than the box that the OS came in. The product itself was a very long string of ones and zeroes that, when properly installed and coddled, gave you the ability to manipulate other very long strings of ones and zeroes. Even those few who actually understood what a computer operating system was were apt to think of it as a fantastically arcane engineering prodigy, like a breeder reactor or a U-2 spy plane, and not something that could ever be (in the parlance of high-tech) "productized." Yet now the company that Gates and Allen founded is selling operating systems like Gillette sells razor blades. New releases of operating systems are launched as if they were Hollywood blockbusters, with celebrity endorsements, talk show appearances, and world tours. The market for them is vast enough that people worry about whether it has been monopolized by one company. Even the least technically-minded people in our society now have at least a hazy idea of what operating systems do; what is more, they have strong opinions about their relative merits. It is commonly understood, even by technically unsophisticated computer users, that if you have a piece of software that works on your Macintosh, and you move it over onto a Windows machine, it will not run. That this would, in fact, be a laughable and idiotic mistake, like nailing horseshoes to the tires of a Buick.

Facts
Title: Snow Crash
Author: Neal Stephenson
Year of publishing: 1991 Snow Crash is Neal Stephenson's breakthrough cyberpunk novel. A breakneck-paced 21st-century novel, Snow Crash interweaves everything from Sumerian myth to visions of a postmodern civilization on the brink of collapse. Faster than the speed of television and a whole lot more fun, Snow Crash is the portrayal of a future that is bizarre enough to be plausible.
Synopsis
Not-too-distant future - a world where the Mafia controls pizza delivery, the United States exists as a patchwork of corporate-franchise city-states, and the Internet - incarnate as the Metaverse - looks something like last year's hype would lead you to believe it should. In reality, Hiro Protagonist delivers pizza for the CosaNostra. But in the Metaverse, he's a warrior prince, last of the solo hackers, and the greatest sword fighter in the world. Now, he's racing along the neon-lit streets, the skirts of his black leather kimono flapping, on a search-and-destroy mission for the shadowy virtual villain threatening to bring about infocalypse! When his best friend fries his brain on a new designer drug called Snow Crash and his beautiful, brainy ex-girlfriend asks for his help, what's a guy with a name like that to do? He rushes to the rescue.

"Snow Crash"
(Reviewed by Judi Clark FEB 28 1998) This is another great virtual reality novel, one which I read shortly after Gibson's "sprawl" trilogy. Hiro Protagonist, a pizza delivery driver/hacker and Y.T., a female skateboarding courier, join forces to find out about a new designer drug that can crash hackers and computers alike. In a lot of ways, this books is more accessible than

CYNTHIA ROSE - REAL TIME HOT TIPS
  • "CYBERLEBRITY" PENS NEW NOVEL As the author of Snow Crash , a best-seller with Net users, US author Neal Stephenson has become what he scathingly calls a "cyberlebrity". Snow Crash started life as the idea for a comic book, one which was meant to have computer-generated graphics. Trying to write the sort of software he wanted for it, Stephenson found himself immersed in a new world. Even as a pre-teen, Stephenson worked with computers. So they helped shape his written visions of the future. Snow Crash takes place in a world where everything is franchised. Not just burger joints but even countries So suburban developments have split away ; and become their own nation states with their own borders." "People have set up their own ethnic and cultural tribes, with their own music, their own culture, their own customs." Stephenson's new work, The Diamond Age , takes these speculations even further. "It's not a sequel, but it concerns a future world. One in which governments are completely gone. And all you've got are tribes. And each tribe has its own individual patch of territory. They co-exist, but they maintain distinctive cultures." With the new book out in America, and about to reach Europe, Stephenson's status has increased further. He's read from Finland to France, Israel to Korea. But he remains downbeat about fame.

From provided by Harper Collins (Continued from Page 4)
by Therese Littleton for HarperCollins Books
NS: Wilkins is another character that I personally feel a lot of affection for. One of the curious facts about Wilkins is that 20 years earlier, he had written a book on cryptography which David Kahn, the author of The Codebreakers, has described as the first book written on cryptology in the English language. When Wilkins was a younger man living in a war-torn England, he wrote a book about how to keep secrets in a bunch of different ways. how to send secret messages and hide information. But later in his life, when England had settled down a bit politically, he turned around and tried to achieve the opposite of that. To create a system of writing that would be sort of like an anti-code. It would be so clear and logical that you could understand what it was saying even if you weren't fluent in that language.
HC: What are some of the other links between Quicksilver and Cryptonomicon
NS: The links are somewhat loose, so this is not one of these situations where you've got to read one of the books to make sense of the others. There's a gap of about 300 years between the

Snow Crash
Neal Stephenson
Bantam Books 1992 A book review by Danny Yee Snow Crash is a fast-paced, near-future, cyberpunk thriller. Neither its technology (with cybernetic dogs, portable nuclear-powered gatling guns, and ancient Sumerian neuro-linguistic programming), its politics (a libertarian world where the Mafia deliver pizzas and the Library of Congress has merged with the Central Intelligence Agency to form a public company), or its plot (the principal characters have a superhero-like immunity to being hit when people shoot at them) withstand close inspection. It is, however, a lot of fun, and its biggest virtue is that it doesn't take itself at all seriously. 26 August 1995

Environmentalist and professional pain in the ass Sangamon Taylor is Boston's modern-day Paul Revere, spreading the word from a 40-horsepower Zodiac raft. Embarrassing powerful corporations in highly telegenic ways is the perfect method of making enemies, and Taylor has a collection that would do any rabble-rouser proud. After his latest exploit, he's wanted by the FBI, possibly the Mafia, and definitely by a group of Satanist angel-dust heads who think he's looking for a PCP factory, not PCB contamination. Pretty soon dodging bullets is the least of Taylor's problems-because somewhere out there are an unhinged genetic engineer and a lab-concocted bacterium that could destroy all ocean life...and that's just for appetizers.
