Google Appearance

September 10th, 2008

We have (via the Neal Stephenson Community’s LiveJournal Site) an unsubstantiated claim that Neal is speaking at Google (roughly one year to the day +1 of his last visit to Kirkland).  We’ll update you if we find out anymore about this.

Update:  It seems that we have confirmation that Neal is indeed going to speak at Google Headquarters in Mountain View on Friday.  Hopefully more to come…

Update 2:  In the comments is a link to a video of the talk!
