Eliot Peper Hi Matt, delighted to hear you enjoyed Bandwidth.

The mechanics of the feed are never described in Bandwidth or the other two Analog Novels. This was very intentional. One of the things I enjoy most about reading speculative fiction is how it challenges me to bring my imagination to the story as a reader. By illustrating the impact of the feed on characters' lives but leaving how it works up to you, the feed becomes a symbol, a metaphor, allows you to participate directly in creating the future the book extrapolates.

Thanks, Eliot

Hi Eliot, really enjoy your books. Question is about writing process. Do you start with an outline or just let the story/idea take you where it will?

Blair Gormley asked Eliot Peper:

Dear Eliot, Bandwidth was very enjoyable and I am curious to read the other books in the series as I work in cyber security and it rings very true to my work and what I come across. What do you plan with the Veil and this new series?

Geo
Geo asked Eliot Peper:

I've really enjoyed your books so far, and I'm really looking forward to your future work. One aspect I really loved was the idea of the "feed-less bar" where they go to meet and hang out without the constant interruption of the electronic/network interruptions and surveillance. Curious where that idea came from. Also, what do you see gives you hope about the state of technology and its place in the world?
