SZ003 Bits werden aus Strom geschmiedet. Und Mate.
Für die abschließende Berichterstattung der Sondersendung zum dritten Tag der re:publica 13 lassen Tim und Ralf keine Müdigkeit aufkommen. Wir grooven uns warm mit Moritz Simon Geist, feiern Clemens Schrimpe und sein Team für das Berliner WLAN-Wunder, um uns anschließend mit Benedikt Köhler und Joerg Blumtritt in den Daten-Straßenkampf zu begeben. Mit Alexander Svensson reminiszieren wir, wie schön doch die rp1913 war und Anne Roth behält Recht, dass auch Die Sondersendung noch kein ausgeglichenes Geschlechterverhältnis hat. Thomas Wiegold und Sascha Stoltenow erläutern die Ähnlichkeiten von Soldaten und Hippstern, während Zeitweise und Agnes das Digitale und Analoge versöhnen. Außenreporter Martin Fischer hat für uns die "Rituale" der re:publica erkundet und Cornelis Kater hat sich Resümees eingeholt. Am Ende wird gesungen. Zum Glück nicht von uns.

Neal Stephenson on Stranger Than Fiction
Welcome to Stranger Than Fiction, a new six-episode podcast from Slate, the New America Foundation, and Arizona State University. Each week, Tim Wu—a Future Tense fellow at New America, the author of The Master Switch, and a professor at Columbia Law School—talks to a contemporary science fiction writer about whether we’re living in the future.
In the debut episode, Wu talks to Neal Stephenson, the award-winning science fiction author of Snow Crash, The Diamond Age, Cryptonomicon, and more. They discuss the purpose of science fiction, geek culture, and whether—contrary to our constant hand-wringing about “everything changing so fast”—innovation has really slowed down.

Schools? How About A Science Laureate At The Super Bowl?
There’s a move in Congress to name a science laureate. Astronomer Mike Brown hopes that person would do much more than visit schools to encourage kids to consider careers in science. He’d like to see a laureate reach out to the public in all sorts of ways.
