Karl Schroeder, despite being a fairly recent discovery, is one of my favourite science fiction writers. This brief fifteen minute talk he gave to the O’Reilly Open Source Conference should do a pretty good job of explaining why.
See what I mean? Smart guy.
But to determine whether it’s worth fifteen minutes of my time, I’d like to know a little bit of the topics covered in said video. SLYT posts are all well and good but as we know from MF, a little bit of context goes a long way.
