MY TECHCENTRALSTATION COLUMN IS UP, and it's an interview with Neal Stephenson, in which we discuss the Seventeenth Century's relation to the present, in light of his new novel, Quicksilver.

UPDATE: Phil Bowermaster comments, and compares Stephenson to Umberto Eco. And John Scalzi writes that Quicksilver really is science fiction, even though Stephenson has managed to fool people into not noticing.
