Send… More… Chuck… Berry…

(I know I’m really late to the party, catching up on posts I missed while at TAM, but I couldn’t resist.)

Thanks for the recommendation. I just finished it. Excellent read. Loved the part with Bill Gates at the end.

Trent Reznor of NIN fame will probably be ok with this, I’m sure the title is no coincidence considering the song “Warning” from Year Zero is about ETs and greed on Earth. I look forward to the dead trees version.

@16. Rince: that doesn’t justify the US’s ridiculous copyright law

@17 Mephane: The hardcover version is $14.45 from Amazon , while the Kindle & Nook versions are $12.99 for a whopping savings of $1.46 (not counting shipping).

Still, I’ll probably download the free “sample” to my Kindle before I decide whether to fork-over any cash.

ETA: I like the spoof of the Napster logo on the cover.

RAF (1) said:

Rock music revered throughtout the Galaxy…that sounds about right.

…wonder if their favorite “guitar riff” is Smoke On The Water??

Either that or Layla.

Rob sent me an advanced copy . . .

Erm . . . in what way was this copy of the book particularly advanced? Did it download straight into your brain, or what?

Oh, hang on. I guess maybe you meant advance copy, is it?

Thinking on No 3, Carey, if that is in fact a Napster logo …… who needs to sue whom for the money?
Do not worry though, folks, they have the colours right, and the general theme of Napster, but it IS different.

Wait, did I see that right? The kindle edition costs more than a physical copy? This makes absolutely no sense to me.
