I would like to hang out with your small group and talk about what technology wants.<\/p>\n

Last year to promote the launch of my book What Technology Wants<\/em>, I offered to appear at your place of work in the month of January and give a one hour talk if your group would purchase 25 copies of the book. This arrangement was a rousing success, not the least because I had the opportunity to visit so many organizations I would not have otherwise met. The diversity and quality of the groups that I met with was amazing, and matched by the quality of the conversations we had. I think it worked out well for everyone. The only downside to the whole month was that I had to restrict the offer to the San Francisco Bay Area. Many groups outside CA, and outside the US were left out.<\/p>\n

Now, to promote and discuss the new Penguin paperback publication of What Technology Wants<\/em>, I have a related offer good for anywhere in the world. For seven days next month I will be hosting a series of small, 1.5-hour Google+ Hangouts with any group that purchases 9 paperback copies of my book. Each Hangout will be limited to 10 participants, which is Google’s current cap on participants. A Google Hangout is like a Skype session but with 10 people, in ten windows on your screen. For 90 minutes I will discuss what technology wants and anything else the group wants to talk about. The group of 9 (I am the 10th) can be any gathering of colleagues, co-workers, enthusiasts or friends that you want to put together. <\/p>\n

This is also an opportunity to explore video conversations, webinars, telepresence, and video chat for small groups.<\/p>\n
