Just to set the record straight, I gave them a call.

Charles Stross at DortCon 2013
Science fiction author Charles Stross http://www.antipope.org/charlie/ is most known for his near-future lovecraft-inspired "Laundry-Files" series, the near-future and more IT centric "Halting State" series as well as his far-future "Saturns Children" android book series - not to forget his science-fiction / fantasy "Merchant Princess" books and other numerous publications.
When he attended DortCon http://www.dortcon.de/ (in Dortmund, Germany, hence its name) this year, he of course was the natural prey for us - so I asked for an interview. How does he manage those multiple universes, how does he cope with the special problems of looking into the near future…
