Margaret Atwood: Peggy writes speculative fiction, she would not lower herself to sci-fi. http://www.owtoad.com/ . In a strange convergence of writing and technology, Atwood has invented what she calls a "long pen." This allows a writer, via a video link and the "long pen," to meet readers and sign books at a distance. For an article on this invention, see the Technovelgy site. For the long pen site itself, see the Unotchit site.
