You might be wondering why you are here at LanceWillett.com when you tried to go to NealFanPage.com.
I decided that one less blog would be good for me, plus there just wasn’t enough content to put up on just Neal and his work (great as it is!).
So, all my old posts (and the one that Aaron did) are here on this site now, under the category “sci-fi”. This will allow me to still include my thoughts on Neal from time to time and link to interesting web content that deals with his work.
That said, make sure to change any links or bookmarks accordingly.
Thanks (and goodbye for now to NealFanPage blog).
Jipi and the Paranoid Chip is a great story: this site lists the excerpt as it appeared in Forbes, July 7, 1997. If you haven’t read it, go now!

Go to :: Neal Stephenson :: to see photos of the the entire Baroque Cycle manuscript—it’s pretty amazing! A huge stack…no, a couple huge stacks of paper.
Crazy.
Also, check out the photos of handwritten manuscripts and the three Deluxe Limited Editions (very nice!).

Excessive Candour, an online book review by John Clute. He takes a look at Neal’s Quicksilver.
I like this idea: “A promise of more cunning things to come.”

Via delicious I found a new posting of the original “In the Beginning was the Command Line” on Spack.org’s Wiki. It is a lot easier to read than the original, thanks to Adam Shand.
