I think his main themes are paranoia, and human stupidity. He is quite cynical. I have no idea what he's working on at the moment, if anything. I don't know if he'll try and recapture the popularity of GR, because he already got burnt with ATD. I'm not sure if his new stuff is meant to be mainstream, or what. Although it clearly is more accessible than his other books generally are. I thought his new books were good, though. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened.
