| Sumario: | Zachary Mason is a young scientist specializing in artificial intelligence who exploded onto the literary stage earlier this year with his first published effort, The Lost Books of the Odyssey, a reimagining of different episodes of the ancient epic. In fact, however, Mason had been stealthily at work for years with little expectation of acclaim. He insists that his daily Silicon Valley pursuits have more in common with art than most people believe. In an interview, Mason discusses such topics as why he never talked about his project, his lack of respect for writing programs and workshops, and the similarities between science and art.
