the near future and distant future will be like.
Nanotech, biotech and exoplanets are
popular topics on his show, as are cryonics, organlegging, computers wired into
the human brain, global warming, genetic engineering
of humans, faster than light travel, worm holes, black holes, transhumanism,
and the technology of living more-or-less forever.

Ringo, Spider Robinson, Eric Flint, David Brin, Mike

Bones Burnt Black (2004) is Stephen's
most widely read novel, and is being serialized as an audio book within each
episode of his podcast. His essays (in print
and in his show) generally deal with the future or with science.
He has invented several games, the most
famous being "Death Stacks" for which there is an annual tournament
held each summer in Charlotte NC at the SF&F convention ConCarolinas. He also invented the Ignorance Index, an
empirical rating system for radio and television talk shows.
His hobbies include astronomy (he has a
10.1 inch Dobsonian telescope), handwriting analysis
and drawing in charcoal and pastels.
