Wilkins is a professor of history at George Mason University, a Pulitzer-prize winner, and former Assistant Attorney General under President Johnson. And, Vinge is the author of 16 books of science fiction, he gained a cult following for his early role in writing about cyber-culture and the Internet. His book Across Realtime, came out last year.
