Flurb! (via Rudy's Blog)

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.

20008! Futurist! Hah. He’s FROM the future.

Wow. Bots are getting better. That seemed coherent until I examined it after discovering the link.
