Is this the new Golden Age of science fiction? Good science fiction has the potential to act as a powerful social force as it did in the late 1930s and early 1940s. It has the power to inspire collaboration with professionals in science and engineering and opens up space for innovation and big ideas without the constriction of data and practicality. Join Neal Stephenson, best-selling science and speculative fiction writer and game designer, and five of today’s leading thinkers, writers, and visionaries for a discussion of the intersection of world-changing art and technology.
Hieroglyph: Stories and Visions for a Better Future is an anthology of stories that push the limits of our recognizable reality while avoiding the classic science fiction formula, namely a dystopia or technology that has advanced far beyond any recognizable relationship to our world. Hieroglyph aims to inspire production of new technologies to help solve the problems just beyond our current landscape.
Panelists Neal Stephenson, Annalee Newitz, Rudy Rucker, Keith Hjelmstad, Charlie Jane Anders and editors Ed Finn and Kathryn Cramer will discuss Hieroglyph and exciting real-world applications of the science fiction genre.

 NEAL STEPHENSON, REAMDE--SCIENCE FICTION Reamde is the latest adventure from Neal Stephenson, the critically acclaimed #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anathem and Cryptonomicon. In this return to the terrain of his other groundbreaking books, Stephenson delivers his most accessible novel to date––a high-intensity, high-stakes, action-packed global adventure thriller in which a tech entrepreneur gets caught in the very real crossfire of his own online war game.
Four decades ago Richard Forthrast, the black sheep of his Iowa-based family, fled to a wild and mountainous corner of British Columbia to avoid the draft. Quickly realizing that he could make a lot of fast cash carrying backpack loads of high-grade marijuana across the border into Northern Idaho, he began to amass an enormous and illegal fortune. Living an affluent but lonely and monotonous life in Canada, Richard became addicted to online fantasy games. Years later, when amnesty from the government allowed Richard to return to the US, he used his fortune and his skills to become the head of his own major computer gaming group called Corporation 9592 with its own super-successful online fantasy game, T’Rain. But now Forthrast is caught in the center of a global thriller and a virtual war for dominance that begins when international hackers develop a virus called Reamde that unwittingly makes some very evil villains extremely angry.
Set in the present-day modern world, Reamde has the global intrigue and suspense of a James Bond movie on steroids. There are Russian mobsters, Chinese spies, Islamic jihadists, hired assassins, computer hackers, online gaming, and enough fear and adrenaline for several Stephenson novels. And Richard's beloved, beautiful, and brilliant niece Zula is in grave danger and caught in the middle of an international nightmare. Now Richard Forthrast, the loner-millionaire-genius, has to figure out how to set things right––without getting himself killed.
Neal Stephenson is the author of Anathem; the three-volume historical epic The Baroque Cycle (Quicksilver, The Confusion, and The System of the World); Cryptonomicon; The Diamond Age; Snow Crash, which was named one of Time magazine's top one hundred all-time best English-language novels; and Zodiac. He lives in Seattle, Washington.
