Dan Simmons and Stephen Forte on the EF Advisory Council
Dan Simmons is back with Stephen Forte, a member of the EF Advisory Council, a group of outsiders who were brought in to help shape future direction for the EF. You might be surprised at who else was on the council, and what they are thinking about for the next version.
