Neal Stephenson: science fiction author interview (video).

Neal Stephenson, one of the first cyberpunk writers, sits down in the interviewee chair to talk with Lex about a variety of topics, from the possibility that the recent UAP sightings are aliens, to his upcoming science fiction novel, Termination Shock, which deals with climate change, global flooding, and pandemics.

The tale takes place on a near-future Earth when climate change has had a substantial impact on human society, and the protagonist is a rich mogul with a grand technological scheme for reversing global warming. Yikes!
