I have actually read it now - the temptation was too great and its only 20 pages - most of which contain only a handful of lines of text. There is a fair bit of christian set dressing of one sort or another and a lot of prose which in SF books I associate with someone either being very clever or trying to appear very clever by throwing lots of ideas at the wall.

Without the christian stuff, I'd still probably go with bizarre viral marketing for Hofstadster's latest book. With it, I really can't decide what to make of it. Actually even without it, I still don't see it as a cost effective way to do publicity.

As a joke, I can imagine doing it, though, you know, you would have to be very bored.

Or some kind of bizarre world-wide puzzle RPG - that would be cool! *hopes it is this but suspects sadly it is not*
