5. The Buddha as Savior and the Professor as Shaman
6. The New Economy of Stories

I hope Chapter 4 touches on what signalling theory can tell us about the favorite quotes, books etc. a person has listed on his or her Facebook profile.

Any word of if/when there will be a Kindle edition? Also I'm curious, if there is a Kindle edition is the compensation to the author any different?
Posted by: vm at Jun 18, 2009 10:13:05 AM
I am told there will be a Kindle edition around the date of publication, July 9.

May I put in a vote for a Sony e-reader edition as well? (It'd be great if all these things were cross-compatible)
I'll definitely pre-order if it shows up.

When do you expect the book to be available in India?

Will there be customized podcasts for early buyers like you did last time? I loved mine!

How about a Project Gutenberg edition? ;)

Will it change the way my dog thinks about me, or the way I think about my dog?
I second the Project Gutenberg edition.

If I get enough donations to buy it, I promise to Gutenberg/torrent it.

I'm joking, guys.

Hey, what about that super secret blog from last time, I never did get to see it?
Posted by: Noumenon at Jun 18, 2009 7:31:48 PM
I don't know. Now that I've read that "defense of weaker copyright" article you posted a link to, I think I'll just steal your book instead of buying it. After all, you'll still have plenty of incentives to write more.

I wish now that my first purchase of your selection wasn't 'Discover your Inner'..

I had some odd trouble with the Amazon UK entry for the book. Seems like reading it will be a surreal experience...

My hope is that it is better than his last book...

Am I the only one poor enough to have to check out a book I only read once at the library rather than buy it?
