I've written a sequel to my talk The Coming War on General Purpose Computing, called "The Coming Civil War Over General-Purpose Computing," which I'll be delivering twice this summer: first on July 28 at DEFCON in Las Vegas, and then on July 31 in San Francisco at a Long Now Foundation SALT talk, jointly presented by the Electronic Frontier Foundation. As far as I know, both talks will be online, along with slides (a rarity for me -- I normally hate doing slides, but I had a good time with it this time around).

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.

    I think I may start calling you Hollywood, not because of any vague notion of selling out or a resentment of success (instead, congrats are in order), but rather because it seems everything today is all about sequels…

    This has likely been answered, but where could one get one of those fantastic stickers?

      also acceptable is using this as your lock screen image: https://supporters.eff.org/sites/supporters.eff.org/files/styles/large/public/I-do-not-consent-stickerB.jpg

      However kicking a few bucks to the EFF is always a good idea, and the stickers are way more general purpose.
