TOM MERRITT: Coming up, we give
a Turing test to author
00:00:02
Daniel Suarez and find out if
he's really just a self-aware
00:00:07
VERONICA BELMONT: And how to win
every William Gibson novel
00:00:10
Sword and Laser starts now.
00:00:25
Welcome to the Sword
and Laser.
00:00:26
I'm Veronica Belmont.
00:00:27
TOM MERRITT: And I'm
Tom Merritt.
00:00:28
VERONICA BELMONT: And this is a
show where we interview the
00:00:29
hottest authors in science
fiction and fantasy and keep
00:00:32
you up to date on all
the latest book
00:00:34
releases and book news.
00:00:35
TOM MERRITT: Yeah, they
are pretty hot.
00:00:36
Don't worry if you're just
sci-fi curious or have a
00:00:38
full-on fantasy fetish.
00:00:40
VERONICA BELMONT: Aw.
00:00:40
TOM MERRITT: You are among
friends now and a dragon.
00:00:43
VERONICA BELMONT: That
was just terrible.
00:00:45
Today, we are talking to author
Daniel Suarez, who
00:00:47
recently came out with
Kill Decision.
00:00:49
And we have to be nice to
him, or he may send a
00:00:51
drone to kill us.
00:00:53
TOM MERRITT: I don't think
he'll do that.
00:00:55
But first, let's take a quick
look at the hot news in sci-fi
00:00:59
We call it the Quick Burns.
00:01:03
Io9 reports Neil Gaiman
will write a prequel
00:01:06
to The Sandman series.
00:01:07
According to Gaiman, the new
books will tell the story of
00:01:10
what happened to Morpheus before
The Sandman number one.
00:01:14
The new story will come out
November 2013 with the artwork
00:01:17
of JH Williams, III.
00:01:19
TOM MERRITT: Up for an evening
or seven of cryptanalysis and
00:01:22
William Gibson's poetry?
00:01:23
Gibson's poem "Agrippa" was
distributed in 1992 on floppy
00:01:27
disk and encrypted itself
immediately after
00:01:30
you viewed it once.
00:01:31
The first person to crack that
code will win a copy of every
00:01:35
William Gibson book
ever printed.
00:01:37
Head over to crackingagrippa.net
for all
00:01:40
VERONICA BELMONT: It's
probably AES 256.
00:01:41
TOM MERRITT: That's
a cracking site.
00:01:43
VERONICA BELMONT: That's a
cracking-- that was-- no.
00:01:45
TOM MERRITT: Release
the cracking?
00:01:45
VERONICA BELMONT: No.
00:01:46
TOM MERRITT: No?
00:01:46
VERONICA BELMONT: No, that
was also terrible.
