S.T.: Can you talk about a book that made a big impression on you back in the day?
Neal Stephenson: When I was in high school I read Moby-Dick — that's one where I can remember all kinds of specifics, details and impressions. For a while I was trying to impose a policy of having a harpoon-throwing character in every single one of my books. But it's difficult to maintain that kind of restraint.

(Neal Stephenson es el autor de Snow Crash, Criptonomicon, Azogue -¡¡Aguante Daniel Waterhouse y Eliza!!- y, ahora, Anathem. Entrevista a LA Times en blog amigo: http://mundosparalelos08.blogspot.com/).
