Margaret Atwood signing to the Norwegian Literature Festival
May 29, 2008
Lillehammer, Norway

Through the magic of holographic technology, video conferencing, and LongPen™, Margaret Atwood will appear at the 2008 Norwegian Literature Festival in Lillehammer without ever leaving her hometown of Toronto. The nature of the holographic technology is such that the presence of Ms. Atwood will be indistinguishable, to the naked eye, from a physical appearance. This is sure to be a landmark event for both bibliophiles and techies.
