I try on this site to stay pretty far on the “offer good content” vs. “use this site just to pimp my writing” side of the line, but occasionally something happens that’s exciting enough to post about it.

I wrote a book of tech poetry, about technology, artificial intelligence, and the digital lifestyle. I released it on the net for free about two weeks ago, putting out a version of the e-book that was as polished as I could make it.

After putting the book online, I started trying to build some buzz on the net. I posted the book on scribd.com, shopped it around to some e-book blogs, and posted it on several forums, including XKCD.

Here’s how the book is doing so far, after two weeks on the net:

The book has made the “featured” and “hot list” on scribd.com. At the time of this writing, it’s gotten 3,855 reads and has been downloaded 744 times.

The book has been made into a torrent (thanks to Zorlin at the XKCD forum for doing that!), which has been downloaded 697 times at the time of this writing.

The PDF of the book has also been downloaded 48 times from my website.

I’m pretty happy with how the book is doing so far. If you know of another place my book has appeared on the net, please let me know. Thanks to everyone who’s reading my work.
