Автографы в электронном книгоиздании

[eska]

Нил Стивенсон пижет в Ж+:
Lots of stock signing, an appearance at Google Kirkland, more stock signing, then a gig at Town Hall attended by a few hundred courteous and happy people. Signed a lot of Kindles and a few iPads.

меня потряс сам факт, что у Нила Стивенсона, оказывается, есть Google Plus! это после пафосного манифеста про электронную почту и долгое внимание и "Normally, my only interaction with readers is to go to a Fedex drop box every couple of years and throw in the manuscript of a completed novel" и "If I know that I am going to be interrupted, I can't concentrate, and if I suspect that I might be interrupted, I can't do anything at all". http://web.mac.com/nealstephenson/Neal_Stephensons_Site/Bad_Correspondent.html

Вот уж от кого не ожидаешь участия в соцсервисах

"My ongoing struggle against "continuous partial attention": I cannot put it any better than Donald Knuth, who writes on his website, "Email is a wonderful thing for people whose role in life is to be on top of things. But not for me; my role is to be on the bottom of things. What I do takes long hours of studying and uninterruptible concentration.

Ладно социальные сети, но туры по стране, встречи с читателями - сильно.
