I will be reading excerpts from Upload, at City Lit Books, in Logan Square. Q&A and book-signing to follow.

Thursday, November 29
6:30 PM – 7:30 PM
City Lit Books
2523 North Kedzie Blvd.
Chicago, IL

City Lit is just south of Lula Cafe and Boulevard Bikes.

I just discovered that Upload is now on IndieBound, which means you can easily order the print edition from a local bookseller.

When I typed in my own zip code, I saw Chicago’s The Book Cellar at the top of the list, so I clicked through, and sure enough, you can add Upload to your cart, right there.

Then I noticed that The Book Cellar has partnered with Kobo to bring you eBooks through your local bookseller. How cool is that? The easiest way is to search for the eBook by ISBN: 9781300206705. I tried that on The Book Cellar’s website, and came up with this link to buy the eBook. Cool stuff. This looks to be an easy way to avoid the Amazon monoculture.

Check out this week's CNSC Podcast for my discussion of Upload with Jeffery Smith of the Chicago Nerd Social Club. I'm seriously impressed by this group. If you aren't looking for a fun group of nerds to connect with here in Chicago, maybe you should be. Where else can you find a bunch of people who are putting together their own field trip to Fermilab?
