Terri asked Robin Sloan:

Although I haven't read it yet, I've suggested Mr. Penumbra's 24-hour Bookstore to my book club as a selection we should read this year. What can you share to help me convince them?

Robin Sloan Haha, always a good question! Well, past performance is not a predictor of future results, BUT, I have to say that it seems like many book clubs have enjoyed the conversations that 'Penumbra' prompts, even (or perhaps especially) if everyone didn't love the book. So there's that. Additionally: assuming we can find a day and time that works, I'm always game to join book clubs via videochat for 10-15 minutes to say hello and answer questions. If you do settle on 'Penumbra,' drop me a line: robinsloan@robinsloan.com.

Hi! I'm currently reading Sourdough (love it!) and I was wondering... if you belonged to a Robin club, what would your nickname be?

Reading 'Sourdough' is making me think about some of the yummy bread we have in the city. What are some of your favorite bakeries in San Francisco?

Cynthia Shannon asked Robin Sloan:

I loved how Penumbra was all about the tech and book worlds colliding. As an author with a background in tech, how do you think the publishing industry - most notably booksellers - can adapt to the changing times?
