Here’s the second part of my interview with TVOntario’s “The Agenda” (part one was posted earlier this week) in which we talk about hacktivism and Aaron Swartz.
Hey there! I’m doing a Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA) right now with Peter Beagle, Connor Cochran, and Lois Bujold from the current Humble Ebook Bundle.
I sat down in Toronto with Steve Paikin and The Agenda, a great TVOntario programme, and talked about liberty, technology, kids, and surveillance.
I recently recorded an interview with NPR’s “Here and Now” about surveillance, kids, activism, and my novel Homeland. (MP3)
The Humble Ebook Bundle — a two-week, pay-what-you-like, DRM-free ebook sale — has just revealed the four bonus books in week two: XKCD Volume 0 by Randall Munrow; Signal to Noise by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean; Poison Eaters and Other Stories by Holly Black and the bestselling Machine of Death anthology. To get these bonus titles, you have to pay more than the present average for the books (if you bought already and paid more than the average at the time, these books are already yours to download, otherwise, you can top up your payment to get them). Remember, you can also buy the bundle as a gift-code to give to a friend!
(Reminder: the Bundle also includes Peter Beagles The Last Unicorn; Wil Wheaton’s Just a Geek; Lois McMaster Bujold’s Shards of Honor; Robert Charles Wilson’s Spin, Cherie Priest’s Boneshaker and my Little Brother)

Last Sunday I gave the keynote speech at the Maker Meetup after the London mini Maker Faire. Make’s write-up of the event includes a video of my speech, which came out well (I think!).
This Thursday, I’ll be doing a Reddit AMA with a bunch of authors from the current Humble Ebook Bundle, at 1230h Eastern/0930h Pacific/1730h UK. Then I head to San Diego to teach the Clarion Workshop, and I’ll be taking part in the instructor’s lecture series at the Mysterious Galaxy bookstore, speaking on July 16 at 7PM. And then I’ll be at ComicCon, speaking on the Ode to Nerds panel in Room 6A on July 18 at 1345h and signing at 17h. All my upcoming gigs are listed here, in case you want to see where I’ll be next. I hope to see you!
Here’s a read-aloud of my recent Guardian column, “The NSA’s Prism: why we should care, which sets out the reasons for caring about the recent revelations of bulk, warrantless, suspicionless, indiscriminate surveillance.
