| The LongPen |
Margaret Attwood is one of my all time favourite authors. No book she writes is the same or in any way similiar to any other. Each story is original and told in the most amazing, encompassing way.
Margaret has long held a fascination for technology (see Oryx & Crake) and has now put her creativity to good use to be involved in the invention of the LongPen.
This piece of technology enables her to do book signings all over the world - regardless of her location. I'm guessing some pretty good backbone infrastructure helps though.
