Atwood autographs by remote control

Posted by Paul Raven @ 20-02-2006 in Science Fiction • Technology

Author Margaret Atwood has had someone make her a device with which she can ‘virtually’ attend book-signings across the world, without having to stray out of her home. The robot hand, called the ‘LongPen’, will duplicate the movements of her real hand while she interacts with audiences over a video link-up.

But don’t forget, book fans: this is the same Margaret Atwood who claims she *doesn’t write Science Fiction*…

…yeah, right!
