It was a fairly nice page when it was up, but currently it's
down after becoming a victim of the dreaded slashdot effect (because
Neal included an interesting piece about his view of operating
systems).
Of course, said effect also threw his as yet unpublished novel
up into Amazon's top 50 sellers (as of last night) so he's probably
not too upset.
In any case, after reading the descriptions of the novel I'm
really looking forward to seeing Neal's take on crypto.
