If there is anyone who knows where the future is headed it’s Neal Stephenson. The author of the classic cyberpunk novel, Snow Crash, and, most recently, Seveneves, Stephenson has long been a voyager in lands unexplored by the common mind.
And now he’s going to join us on stage at Disrupt SF 2016, a unique treat. We’ll be talking about his latest book, his vision of the the future, and, if they’ll let him, a little about his work at Magic Leap as Chief Futurist. Given that this guy basically invented the idea of VR and AR back in the pre-NES days, he’s definitely going to have some thoughts.
Getting Stephenson on stage is tough and I suspect this will be one heck of an interview. He’s a self-described “bad correspondent” and a sociomediapath but he’s also an amazing writer and thinker and getting him to talk about his work will be a real treat.
You can grab tickets here and early bird pricing is still available.
