XKCD Author's Unpublished Book Remains a Best-Seller For 5 Months
destinyland writes Tuesday is the official release date for the newest book from the geeky cartoonist behind XKCD — yet it's already become one of Amazon's best-selling books. Thanks to a hefty pre-order discount, one blogger notes that it's appeared on Amazon's list of hardcover best-sellers since the book was first announced in March, and this weekend it remains in the top 10. Randall Munroe recently announced personal appearances beginning this week throughout the U.S. (including Cambridge, New York, Seattle, and the San Francisco Bay Area) — as well as a Google Hangout on Friday, September 12. Just two weeks ago he was also awarded the Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story — and now many of his appearances are already sold out.
Yeah well, I disrespectfully disagree. Randall Munroe is giant asshole with a rabid following of brainless morons. He only seems smart to you because you're so incredibly stupid.
Agreed. I'm barely foaming at the mouth...no urge to grab a pitch fork. Terrible work.
Well, we have a lot of pseudoscientific content (lost on most of the readers who think it's science), a lot of meaningless charts and graphs (that look like math to the numerically illiterate), and countless (completely meaningless) references to historical figures and sci-fi characters.
You tell me. Which way do you think the pendulum swings?
