Spooky Article on Spooky Gibson Novel "Feature"

Node idea | comment | EducationGuardian.co.uk

So, William Gibson has a new book out, Spook Country, and apparently a new way to discuss it, market it, or whatever, by giving out early copies to on-line annotators to seed search engines. I'm not sure I completely buy the idea as worthwhile to civilization, but I don't think literary criticism in general has a lot to contribute either. So, is it a silly fad, or the wave of the future? I guess we all collectively will decide.
