In this episode Brad sits down with the iconic author, Neal Stephenson, to talk about swords, technology, tattoos, and his new book “Fall; or, Dodge in Hell.”
Brad and Neal talk about writing novels by hand, the future of the cloud and its impact on his new book, and the guys fill out their “Future Tech” brackets to see which technology will make the biggest impact in the future.
Neal also spends time reviewing tattoos inspired by his books, and offers an in-depth analysis of several swords hanging around the office.
Other talking points include: When they both started shaving their heads, innovation stagnation, bagpipes, ghostwriting, and Oxford commas.
