Tomorrow we'll be interviewing Daniel Suarez and Andy Weir at SF in SF at the Emerald Tablet! Please post your questions below, and join us if you'll be in town. We'll be interviewing them before the event, but we'll stick around afterwards for the readings and the Q&A! Come say hi!

For Suarez: Any changes in the tech world since writing Daemon that greatly surprise or frighten you? Any changes that you specifically would have loved to incorporate into the novel?

For Weir: Was the film Robinson Crusoe on Mars (or the original Robinson Crusoe book itself) an inspiration or influence on The Martian?

Tamahome | 7215 comments Yeah, and where was the monkey??




Jenny (Reading Envy) (readingenvy) | 2898 comments For Suarez - What kind of everyday reading does he do to keep informed on experimental/upcoming technology? Or how does he keep up?

For Weir - Does he ever have nightmares?

Ben Rowe (benwickens) For Weir - whats next after The Martian?

And how does he feel about publishing something else after such a successful debut?

Raymond J. (fuzzysilk) | 2 comments For Suarez - What do you think of Bitcoin and other digital currency? How would the Darknet handle currency? Would it just be a reputation thing or would they use a form of currency?
