1/ Which emerging authors are you most excited about?

2/ Is there some exciting recent read you wouldn't expect in a regular SF & F diet you would like to suggest ?

3/ You often write about contemporary subjects that are 10 minutes into our present : from IP to Net privacy to 3D printing (...) Is there a recent subject you've recently been passionate about and would like to share a few words on ? (no strings attached as to whether it comes up in your writing, of course)

In light of The Economist (TE)'s particular orientation on, well, the economy:

• what is TE's position on the trend of Data Journalism ? In many ways, analysing data is an old staple of TE's writing, but is there a particular will to change, expand, or improve in that area ? How are, e.g. new outlets such as Five Thirty Eight or the Guardian's investment in data journalism considered ?

• TE has a unique voice in current affairs, and presumably some ability to influence the course of events with a well-made position piece. When real-world deadlines loom near but do not fall within the journal's schedule, does the choice of being a weekly sometimes feel hard to bear ?

• One particular trend of news blogging & online journalism is the low friction an outlet experiences in having journalists all over the world. What is TE's approach to remote work among its employees ?
