Mr. Penumbra’s Twenty-Four Hour Book Store

This is a delightful must-read fictional short story that is available for free online or $0.80 on the Kindle. It’s about a peculiar book store, Google book scanning, information visualization, and immortality. The author is Current TV‘s Robin Sloan.

Hopefully the Kindle platform and/or other quick online publishing solutions will encourage more short stories like this one.
