I was looking for an interview from an interesting writer for you, readership and I stumbled upon this. Google Talks. Writers were invited to Google Headquarters to introduce their latest books and to have exchanges (Q&A's) with the crowd. Neal Stephenson is a science-fiction writer that never really bothered with the notion of boundaries. I have read Zodiac and
Cryptonomicon and enjoyed his humble approach to his science-heavy style. If you haven't read him yet, check him out.
Stephenson, like most writers I know, doesn't spend a lot of time introducing himself and his book Anathem and jumps right away to the Q&A part with the audience, which is very enjoyable. It's always easier for a man to speak about his work when asked direct questions and the crowd is very switched-on in that regard. Very enjoyable conference. I invite you to sit through it if you have time (and like/are curious about Neal Stephenson of course)
