My latest Guardian column, “The Internet Problem: when an abundance of choice becomes an issue,” discusses the thoroughly modern dilemma of choice in the face of abundance — not just an abundance of reading material or music, but an abundance of actions enabled by the net.

My internet problem is the one so many of us struggle with: how do you choose when the constraints of geography, income and circumstance disappear? What goes in a playlist when all the music ever recorded is one click away? Which experts’ thought processes should you tap into when tens of millions of them are on Twitter? How do you choose a book from the millions that you can discover with a Google Books search?

But as hard as it is to navigate the infinite universe of potential input, deciding what to *do* with all that information is even harder.

I’ve just heard from Eduardo Hojman, my editor at Puck, that the Spanish edition of Little Brother will be published on March 7, under the title, “PEQUEÑO HERMANO”! It’ll be distributed worldwide — through Spain and Latin America.

Rick Lieder, one of the four talented artists who produced covers for my new DIY short story collection With a Little Help, is selling prints of his cover-art, which illustrates the story “The Right Book,” (which Neil Gaiman narrates on the audiobook edition).

A group of Bulgarian fans have produced a free/open translation of my first novel Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. It was edited by Milena Ivanova, cover art by Biliana Savova, and features an introduction by Vladimir Poleganov. I’m immensely honored and delighted. Thanks to all the volunteers who made this edition.
