I'm a judge in a Motorola student competition to come up with a short film, story, essay, comic, etc about the future of "Seamless Mobility." I've written a paper called "The Future of Mobility Will Embrace Copying (and Water Won't Get Any Less Wet, Either)" that gives an idea of my view of things to come. The prizes are pretty boss, too:
This site is where college students from all around the nation go to enter a competition to creatively portray what their idea of "Seamless Mobility" is. The idea that technology should move seamlessly along with you throughout your daily activities should be showcased using film, animation, short story, essay, graphic art, or even a comic strip. The grand prize winner gets a $10,000 cash scholarship, a Bluetooth enabled car, and an apprenticeship with Motorola's Chief Technology Officer.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
