As reported previously here, Robinson was featured in Rick Kleffel's Agony Column interviews site along with fellow writer Rudy Rucker: "Seeing the Future with Kim Stanley Robinson and Rudy Rucker". The live event at Capitola Book Café took place on June 4 at Santa Cruz. Says Rick Kleffel:

The event actually started before the event, when we all gathered upstairs at the very low-key pizza joint next to the Capitola Book Café. My son, Dietrich, who was taping video of the event, joined Rudy, Stan, myself and a number of Rudy's and Stan's friends for a very nice, talkative meal. It set the tone for the evening.

Setting up the event at Capitola Book Café is a different experience every time. Sometimes we sit on stools, sometimes on chairs behind as desk, but this time, Rudy and Stan literally made themselves at home in easy chairs, while I took a stool. It made for a very relaxed conversation.

The hour-long full recording of the event, including both writers reading from their novels (Stan reads from the end of Galileo's Dream), can be found here.
