And oldy but a goody. I like to re-read it every couple of years or so; Stepanov is delightfully bonkers and clearly operating on a rarified intellectual plane that, with binoculars and on a clear day, I can sort of make out the general form of; but the interview is so well done that he comes across as nearly human.
I can't find a date on the article, when was it written? It still speaks of 'the standard' without referencing 0x, is it from the 2000-2004 era or earlier?
