Viridian Note 00357: Tomorrow Now Tour

Key concepts:

futurism, nonfiction books, publicity tours, Viridian Pope-Emperor

Attention Conservation Notice:

The obligatory labor of stoking the starmaker machinery.

My new nonfiction book "TOMORROW NOW: Envisioning the Next Fifty Years" has just come out. It doesn't have one single mention of the word "Viridian" in it, but boy is it Viridian. http://www.well.com/conf/mirrorshades/

I'm taking on all comers at the Well's "inkwell" conference online. http://www.well.com/

William Gibson's got a weblog now. http://www.WilliamGibsonBooks.com/index.asp

Cory Doctorow has published his first science fiction novel, and he is giving away copies online literally by the tens of thousands. http://www.boingboing.net/

I'm on a brief West Coast tour to support my new book. If geography allows, come by and press the Papal flesh.
