Ithaca and NYC! I’m heading your way for a zillion events from Sept 11–17. Here’s a list of open-to-all Cornell activities including two major keynotes; a movie night with dinner and discussion; and a public event at Cornell Tech in NYC. I’m also appearing at Buffalo Street Books on Sept 11 and at Autumn Leaves Books on Sept 13. I’ll also be at the Brooklyn Book Festival on Sept 21.
