I've posted on FB and manifold discord about it. I've bought 7 copies so far, and there's an open offer to buy copies for anyone I know in real life or via manifold market creation, etc. So I'm willing, it's just a matter of if people will say they'll read the book.

I have now bought 21, not all given away yet

Still open for orders. Also: Of the 12 people who I'm sending ones directly to, as of 4:19pm the day of release, every one has been delivered, except the one to someone living in SF, and the copies I ordered to my house in CA.

Is this a wexelblat disaster, but related to humanity's newfound resistance to letting anyone build things, where the problem itself is blocking or slowing down even the discussion of itself, via delivery of this book? Shoutout to bruce sterling and the Viridian movement. http://www.jaygarmon.net/2009/08/nerd-word-of-week-wexelblat-disaster.html

up to 15 to individual people, and I have gotten 3 extra copies for myself to give away, and a couple more people in foreign countries amazon won't ship directly to are on the list for me to re-ship.

11 orders here plus one more for GCS, so 12 total so far

I'd read the book

Why I would read the book:

  • I subscribe to Caplan's blog and broadly agree with his views

  • I enjoy graphic novels

Why I am not going to buy the book myself:

  • I already broadly agree with Caplan so probably won't update very much

  • I am cheap

What I intend to do with the book:

  • Read it

  • Give it to someone else to read

@GCS sounds good to me, where should I send it

@Ernie thanks!
