60. The browser book is open access and designed to be participatory. You can ask questions of
the author Alan, and you can also leave comments in the social tab. We will ask you to log in
via a social account. This is NOT because we want to use your data in any other way than to
verify that you are a real person, not a spammer or some deranged individual. We will not
share that data, or sell that data.
The only thing we will do is to ask your permission as a means of entry to reading an entire
work which took 7 years to produce, without financial payment is to let your friends know
that you are now reading No Straight Lines.
We thought that was fair. If you disagree then let us know.
