A Conversation with Dark Horse's Chris Warner
About 20 years ago when I first visited San Diego, I remember I was struck by the palm trees and the odd mix of architectural styles.

Landing at Heathrow Airport, still a bit groggy from the flight, I caught the Heathrow Express to Paddington station and my hotel. Entering London this way it's easy to forget that this sprawling city is really a river town. The River Thames winds through central London past all the sites you heard about as a kid.

Tracy Swedlow called me from Manhattan and yelled, "Brian, I just spent the entire day in New York and there are screens everywhere!"She went on to say she had an idea for a column for [itvt]. It was a simple idea: my book Screen Future is going to be published in July 2010. To support the project, I'm going on a six month book...
