Cory Doctorow book signing in Second Life
From Cory's announcement list:
On July 24, I'll be appearing in the online world Second Life to do a book signing/launch for my new novel, Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town. The Second Lifers have been conducting a contest to
see who can come up with the coolest in-game programmed book-object
to decant the novel into, and they've picked a winner:
> Falk Bergman was the first to bring me by to have a look at his prototype in development, a giant book positioned next to a seat.
> Sitting on it automatically fixes your camera position in place, to give you the best possible view of the book.
> "The viewer in-world itself is very simple," Falk tells me
> modestly. "It is basically a shopping agent with two displays that hooks into Page Up and Down [on the keyboards] for changing the
> pages."
Winning entry:
