Nealfanpage.com has officially been added to the official Neal Stephenson Fanlisting ring. If you haven’t joined yet (and I am guessing not, since there are only 6 people listed), please do so today! The listing requirements are only for your first name, email, URI, and favorite Neal Stephenson book.
One cool thing about Fanlisting is that it brings fans together who maybe did not know about each other before. This can be a highly fruitful process, and allow people to make connections and friends both online and in their home towns. For more information and examples, check out thefanlistings.org.
In case you missed it, Neal Stephenson was featured in “The magazine in the Science Fiction and Fantasy Field”, Locus, last August. To read excerpts from the interview and see his picture, go to the article. The full interview was published in the August 2004 issue of Locus Magazine, available for $7.95 if you want a hard copy (see the online article for details on how to purchase).
Neal was also featured in the same magazine back in 1999, and that interview excerpt is worth a read as well.
I found the more recent interview in Locus to be particularly similar to his Slashdot interview, but that’s OK because as Neal fans we like to read anything!
There’s an interview with Neal Stephenson in this month’s Reason magazine. You should check it out.
Jason Kottke read the interview and nonchalantly mentioned that he hasn’t read any of Stephenson’s novels, but that he’s a fan based on the recent interviews posted online.
I guess it doesn’t really matter how you find out about Stephenson’s work/ideas, but that you do find them. Personally, I had first read William Gibson’s “Neuromancer” and was looking for something similiar. Searches finally led me to “Snowcrash” and I’ve been hooked since.
How did you first find out about Neal Stephenson’s work?
