eal Stephenson is 35 years old and lives in Seattle, Washington. He has written three other books, The Big U , Zodiac, and Snow Crash. Bruce Sterling has said that he "is the first
second-generation, native cyberpunk science-fiction writer. Unlike most of the original '80s cyberpunks, he grew up in the new technoculture and, with a hacker's background knows how it really works." Some of his major influences include Heinlein and Andre Norton.
