So Margaret Atwood invented (or had invented for her) a robot hand called the LongPen, so she can have her cake and eat it too: "attend" book signings all over the world without having to leave the comfort of her home. Apparently she'll be "signing" remotely via video feed, with the robo-hand moving to every stroke of her lazer mouse pen. While this is rather appropriate for one some authors, some fans, publishers, and agents are in a bit of a tizzy for the lack of social interaction.
