Ask Neal Stephenson

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the welcome-to-the-gilded-age dept.

Our latest Slashdot interview victim... err... guest... is Neal Stephenson, author of (among others) Snow Crash, CRYPTONOMICON, the much-discussed essay, In the Beginning was the Command Line, and more recently a series of books he calls The Baroque Cycle. (Last month Slashdot reviewed the series' third volume, The System of the World.) Now you can ask Neal whatever you want. As usual, we'll send him 10 -12 of the highest-moderated questions and post his answers verbatim when we get them back.

    You must be aware that some of your fans are disappointed with the way you consistently flake out at the end of a really good story. Can you shed some light on your process for ending a novel?
    This is not in any way shape or form "flamebait", and the parent should be modded up just to fix that abuse of moderation.

    This is in fact a question that many who read Stephenson's work have.
