Bestselling author Neal Stephenson theorizes
on why "niche" science-fiction / fantasy
actors like Lucy Lawless, Hugo Weaving and
Leonard Nimoy so often end up cast in these
types of roles.
-----
Neal Stephenson delivered a talk entitled The
Fork: Science Fiction versus Mundane Culture
at Gresham College.
Four professors discuss the origins of
science fiction, its overlap with other
genres and its developments over more than a
century.
Neal Stephenson is the best-selling author of
such novels as Snow Crash, The Diamond Age,
Cryptonomicon, and The Baroque Cycle. He is
best know for writing science fiction (in the
postcyberpunk genre) and his interests often
lead him into investigations of society,
mathematics, cryptology, currency and the
history of science.
