Speaker and Interview Information

I enjoy giving keynotes, lectures, panel presentations, and talks. I regularly speak at academic conferences, schools, universities, tech conventions, science fiction conventions, corporate functions, literary festivals, and other public and private venues. If you’d like to have me give a lecture or join a panel discussion, please contact me to discuss details and rates. I give talks both in person and virtually.
