Geek Nation now out in Zhongwen

I've just got back from a three-day visit to Yorkshire for the British Science Festival, which was this year held in the salubrious city of Bradford. Last night I ended the trip in Otley to take part in their Science Cafe. Big thanks to Ruth Wilson from the UKRC, Farrah Nazir from the British Science Festival, Alom Shaha who kindly conversed with me for a Geek Nation event at Waterstones on Wednesday night, Marty Jopson from the Otley Science Festival for hosting me, and all the other wonderful people who turned up and were so nice.

In other news, Geek Nation is now available in Chinese! The Taiwanese publishers have gone with a different cover from the Asian and European editions, but it's funky in its own way. I've been sent five copies by my publishers, which sadly owing to my rudimentary Mandarin reading skills are likely to go to waste. So if you would like one then let me know by leaving a comment below. As long as you can send me a stamped-addressed envelope, you can have a copy for free.

I'm off to New Delhi next week for The Hindu newspaper's Lit for Life festival. I'll be speaking on Sunday morning (25th September), at the Habitat Centre on Lodhi Road. It's free and open to everyone, so hope to see as many of you there as possible.
