Thanks for this! I loved Saturn's Children and Halting State. I'm a lapsed SF junkie who's trying to get back on the wagon, and Charlie's really wowed me.

Certainly, Charlie came across being sincere in his beliefs and the way they affect his writing!
Not all SF conventions are Trekie,(costumes & uniforms), or full of mad fanatics. They are, however, a good chance to see your favorite SF authors and maybe have a chat with them between events.

Never been to one - I always thought they were like Star Trek. LOL I've wondered about the personal views of the writers, do they believe the stuff they write? I like serious, intelligent fiction - Kage Baker, Reynolds, Stross, Morgan, NcDevitt, McCartey, etc. Singularity, First Contact, Unique ideas.
Stross is constantly trying to choose between character development and plot - like so many other authors.

Thanks for the comments. All the talks that day were very entertaining. Are you also a Science fiction Convention goer?

GREAT video - loved Accelerando and The Glass House (I've read 'em all). Loved the comments on the messiness of market economics (and why they work).
Aw... I wanted to hear more about Project Pluto.

Sorry! My camcorder ran out of juice. Are you a sf fan too?

I'm more of a science non-fiction fan. I recently read a piece by Stross on Boing Boing titled "Futility of space colonization." It was the first time I'd heard of him, and idly came to YouTube looking for more material.
