WAIT 15 SECONDS: The video still pauses until 0:15, but after that it works and the end isn't cut off. Sorry about the glitch, new at this.

Charlie Rose is pissing me off. He seems so dense in this interview. But again, love Octavia. Way ahead of her time and such a generous person.

Thank the Gods Octavia could rise to give great interviews to guys this dumb... I read an interview with her a few years ago by Darrell Schweitzer: Octavia was always direct and didn't mince words. Amazing mind.

It's obvious that Charlie Rose hadn't read the book(s). Ashame, too. If so, he would've had a million questions for her — smart ones.

I'd join Earthseed.

Kindred is probably the best book I ever read in my entire life next to the Bible!
