We are thrilled to be hosting the launch of Neal Stephenson's newest book Polostan.
This is the first installment in a monumental new series called Bomb Light - an expansive historical epic of intrigue and international espionage, presaging the dawn of the Atomic Age. Set against the turbulent decades of the early twentieth century, Polostan is an inventive, richly detailed, and deeply entertaining historical epic from Stephenson, whose prior books include Cryptonomicon and The Baroque Cycle.
Our conversation host for this evening is Charles C. Mann, journalist & author of 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus and The Wizard and The Prophet. Mann has also given two Long Now Talks.
Upcoming Talks
Long Now Talks are made possible through generous support from Long Now Board of Directors, Long Now members, and lead supporters including Ken and Maddy Dychtwald, Garrett Gruener and Amy Slater, and Greg Stikeleather, among others.
