Dear backers, readers and friends of Trekonomics,
This is the cover of Trekonomics.
All my gratitude goes to Jennifer Bostic for her amazing design, and to John Powers for his sculpture. Please note that this is not the final design. There will be a few last-minutes tweaks.
As you may guess from the cover, Prof. Brad DeLong, the great economist and Star Trek fan extraordinaire, is honoring Trekonomics with an original foreword.
Let us know what you think! Your feedback is most appreciated.
In the meantime, with all my thanks,
Live Long, and Prosper,
Manu
Hey all! Over the weekend we passed the 200 pre-order mark, which I consider a milestone, and I most heartily thank everybody who has supported "Women Like Us." As of right now we're at 206, so any followers who haven't ordered, come on and join in!
Now onto hopefully the last raffle in this campaign. If you haven't been following (or paying attention, and if that's the case we need to talk!) in this raffle the winner will help select the design and placement of a tattoo on my person* that will honor Derric of the Beagle Freedom Project, who has numbers and letters tattooed in his ear. The ear tattoo was the way these dogs were identified when they were in labs, so for five years Derric went by BCT-8 and did not have a name. Somehow Derric's tattoo will be incorporated into my design, and again I am doing this as a way of honoring Derric's bravery -- he survived five years of being caged up and subjected to who knows what. And yet he has emerged as a fun, playful little clown. Could we all say the same? Always remember when publish goal reached, 10% of book sales will go to the Beagle Freedom Project.
So...onto the raffle. I will be in touch with the winner and we'll figure out how to get this done. Here, watch:
Thanks, all. And again if you haven't pre-ordered, now's the time, and if you have, no harm in another copy!
*Fine print: there are some restrictions on tattoo placement!!
His book has already been mentioned on io9.com and it's getting really good reviews, so if you like robots, give it a chance and ORDER IT ON MARCH 1st!
