Scratching the Surface: Robin Sloan
<p>Robin Sloan is a writer and media inventor based in Oakland. He’s the author of two novels, <em>Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore</em> and <em>Sourdough</em>. He’s also written a variety of short stories and internet projects, dabbles in programming and machine learning, and makes extra virgin olive oil with his partner Kathryn Tomajan. In this conversation, Robin and I talk about what it means to be a media inventor and how this is similar to being a designer, his early career working at Twitter and Current TV, and the value of pursuing diverse creative projects.</p>
