Via Slashdot was the announcement of 4 new inductees to the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in Seattle (it’s part of the SF Museum there). When is Neal’s day? Hopefully soon, he deserves it.
Nealfanpage.com has officially been added to the official Neal Stephenson Fanlisting ring. If you haven’t joined yet (and I am guessing not, since there are only 6 people listed), please do so today!

The other interview was published [...]
