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.

Second: these sculptures are absolutely kick-ass wonderful!

Had the above sculpture been on Kris Kristofferson’s Mack’s hood, Convoy might have ended very differently.
