Description

Under a pseudonym, database consultant Daniel Suarez self-published Daemon, a near-term sci-fi novel about a computer virus intent on destroying civilization. It's success has been based heavily on its ability to walk the line between technical feasibility and fantastic storytelling, as well as the prescient warning implicit in its portrayal of our tech dependent culture.

Seminar hosted by Stewart Brand

Doors open 7:00pm, talk at 7:30pm lasting ~1.5 hours
Located at The Cowell Theater at Fort Mason Center
