No, it’s not JayG… it’s Neal Stephenson, an intellectual giant if not a physical one.
He was here, in Cape Town, and the publicity was… nonexistent. I heard of it on talk radio, and only because I nipped out to buy some ally over lunch hour or something. The discussion was lead by some fellow with a consonant for a surname who was trying to make himself appear clever, and who now and then allowed Neal a word edgewise.
But it was worth it, I got to meet the man and get a signed copy of Reamde.
We are not worthy! Neal Stephenson rocks!!!
