’s not Mary Magdalene.

That’s just all it is? Oh Walter, you’re making... It was so exciting when it was Mary Magdalene. What’s your next book? Last question.

I think I’m going to do a book about New Orleans and maybe about Storyville in the 1890s, maybe about Lulu White, who was an octoroon, who opened a sporting house and hired Jelly Roll Morton to be the piano player, and Louis Armstrong.

Oh, so totally different.

But also it’s about race, because that was before the color line was drawn, because it was right during that decade that somebody who was a neighbor, named Homer Plessy, boards a train and we get Plessy v. Ferguson, which is so destructive, because it allows the drawing of a color line legally. Those type of things interest me. But it’s not going to be another genius innovator book. Leonardo da Vinci and the last chapter of it culminates.

Culminates. And you’re leaving the Aspen Institute?

Well, I’m going to move down, I’m going to be a teacher of history, I’m going to teach at Tulane. My first course, which I hope you’ll come lecture at, is called History of the Digital Revolution, from Ada to Zuckerberg, and your listeners don’t need to explain what Ada to Zuckerberg means.

Are you running for mayor of New Orleans?

No, the mayor’s race is actually the week after next.

Well, there’s lots of mayor’s races in the future.

Well yeah, I mean four, eight years from now. I haven’t, I don’t know what I’m doing then. There are two wonderful women running for mayor of New Orleans this time around.

Good. All right, well, Walter Isaacson, as usual you are also a very curious person. I’m excited to read your next book.

What do you mean by that?

It’s a compliment.

Thank you.

Anyway, thanks for coming.
