There's always going to be controversy when you write the way I write.

I write nonfiction in this thriller-esque style. I have all the facts; I research it. I have thousands of pages of court documents... I try to get inside my stories.

I see myself as an entertainer.

Seeing someone reading something I wrote on an airplane - things like that are pretty awesome.

I certainly was a geeky kid myself, but to me, math and science were always these magical things- powerful tools you could use in incredible ways.

I write about nerds who go the extra mile and become rock stars.

I believe Facebook is going all the way. They're going to reach a billion members and will be the biggest company in the world. It will be a platform everyone goes on the Internet through.
