Posthuman Blues

Whoa. I think I went into more stores today than I have in the last five or six years combined.

I dropped off a copy of my book at a Aquarius, a New Age* store with a healthy selection of UFO/fringe titles. The owner's interested in having me speak when the Discovery show finally airs, which -- as far as I know -- could be virtually anytime now.

*Strictly speaking, my Mars book isn't "New Age," and I usually roll my eyes when I see it on the shelves with books by self-proclaimed mediums and tomes on astrology. But there comes a point when I'm forced to acknowledge the memetic common ground between "New Age" and the nascent discipline of planetary SETI. And, truthfully, I think it's huge fun to browse stores filled with "weird" stuff.
