As I’ve mentioned before, my novel Little Brother is the San Francisco Public Library’s pick for its first One City/One Book citywide book-club. They’re already in the middle of the three months’ worth of events, from debates to robotics and crypto workshops to movie screenings (and much more), and I’m gearing up to head to San Francisco for several days’ worth of school visits and other presentations.

If you’d like to catch me while I’m there, your best bet is my evening presentation with Nico Sell at the SFPL main branch (100 Larkin Street) at 6PM on Oct 2. I’m also doing a presentation at Borderlands Books (866 Valencia St) on Oct 3 from 12:30-1330h. I hope to see you there!

Hey, Londoners! I’m launching the UK edition of Homeland this Wednesday at the Forbidden Planet Megastore from 18h-19h. This is the sequel to Little Brother, and it includes the novella Lawful Interception, which follows on from the action in Homeland.

If you’re not a Londoner, don’t despair! Forbidden Planet has a great mail-order service and will ship signed copies anywhere.

How cool is this? My novel, Little Brother, is the San Francisco Public Library’s “One City One Book pick for 2013, which means that it’s the book for the annual “citywide book-club.” The library is advertising the initiative with bus-shelter, bus- and coffee-sleeve-ads all over town, and the librarians just tweeted me this pic of the first ads going up in situ.

Holy.

Awesome.

There’s a whole ton of events, from screenings of movies like Sneakers, Source Code and Existenz to a “LED Robot Plushie Workshop + Little Brother Book Discussion” and Lego robotics workshops, and I’m doing a public event in conversation with Wickr/DEFCON’s Nico Sell, at the Main Library’s Koret Auditorium on Oct 2. I’m totally, utterly thrilled!

We are live around town!
