Science fiction is a niche in China, but it is a veritable popular literature in the world, and there are many readers who like to read science fiction and many authors who like to write science fiction, so classics are emerging in endlessly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The SFFWaw forum not only provides communication, but also serves as a place for science fiction writers to be interviewed to recommend their novels, and it is known to a large number of active and loyal science fiction fans.

Due to the time difference, when Jesse posted this post at five p.m. in Chinese mainland, it was morning in Europe and the United States had not yet dawned.

But the otaku geeks who dive and chat are all night owls, and it is their norm to go out at night during the day, even if the time is not right, Jesse's post still blew up a lot of diving parties.

Picky geeks are not kind people, if the novel is not up to standard, then it will be greeted with overwhelming difficulties, these people criticize the work very sharply, once the author came here to recommend his book, and then was so disgusted that he canceled the forum account.

But as long as they fancy the book, it is definitely very loved, and will spontaneously invest in publicity, more than one science fiction masterpiece has been turned out of the sea of books by this group of people, and then to a broader sales market.

James, who was still active in the middle of the night, planned to read the latest post and go to bed, after all, it was already past four o'clock in the morning, and the whole community was silent.

But when he opened the forum, he found that a post was preceded by "new", and the replies were less than five.

"God, I wish I hadn't drunk that cup of coffee and wasn't sleepy at all now. What is the story of "i, robot", who became a robot himself?"

James clicked on the post as he spoke, "Let me guess the plot, whether the protagonist is a robot or a robot who puts his mind on a robot because of a terminal illness." ”

But when he just said this idea, he found the three laws of the robot posted by Jesse, and the whole person was stunned.

“fucking-genius！”

I have never seen such a novel idea, directly setting such a limit on the robot, James's whole sleepiness was emptied at once, and he quickly looked at the following several replies, all of which expressed shock.

"I was shocked, I just went to Amazon to search and found that there were only 5 downloads, and it was written by Han-Lin, a Chinese. Chinese can write such excellent science fiction novels, it's great, it's a pity that I can't see the entity, only download it to the kindle. ”

"Did I read it wrong or what's going on? The book is actually translated from Chinese to English, but I don't seem to have any obstacles at all, and the setting of the story is fantastic. I decided to hurry up and read it all. ”

"Poor guy, only 8 downloads purchased, I looked at the free trial section and it was great. ”

"I highly recommend this book, just the first few rules made me almost stop breathing, and I had a hunch that it would catch fire. ”

James switched the page to enter Amazon, and after he searched, he found that this book actually has a paper version and an electronic version in Chinese Simplified, but he can only choose the English version of the e-book.

"It turned into 24 purchases in a while, and it seems that a lot of people have seen that post. ”

As he spoke, he paid for the purchase, and due to the difference in the currencies of the two sides, there was a difference in the price, and in general, there was not much difference.

If there is one thing that is bad about the United States, it is that the price of books is too expensive, especially textbooks, a book is a little cheaper is 50 or 60 beautiful scenery, and a slightly more beautiful or thick book is more than 100 dollars.

Although a regular book like a novel is a little cheaper, it costs more than twenty dollars a book, unless you go to buy a second-hand book. But many new books that have just been published have not entered the used book market, and the emergence of Amazon has saved people's wallets.

After buying the e-book, James lay down on the bed, leaned his whole body on the pillow, turned on the soft lamp, and read slowly, forgetting that it was past four o'clock in the morning.

……

When the sky was just gray, Lin Han got up from the bed, and it was already more than seven o'clock in the morning, but the sunrise time in winter was relatively late, so the sun was still hiding in the fog.

After he went to wash up, he went out for a run in his sweatshirt, the writer sat for too long, most people have occupational diseases, what cervical spondylosis, what lumbar disc herniation, what hemorrhoids are common.

Lin Han is still young now, and he can't rely on his good health to hold on, and only by keeping exercising can he maintain a long writing life.

Masks are probably one of the most indispensable tools for Yanjing people, when Lin Han was running around in the park, several wild dogs were hula and grabbed food, and I didn't know what they saw.

The old man who couldn't sleep was already teasing the birds in the pavilion in the park at this time, and all kinds of delicate birds in the cage were making crisp calls, which were very pleasant.

Sweating like rain, the sweatshirt outside seemed to be soaked with sweat, Lin Han carried the bun and soy milk back to his house, and then took a bath and had breakfast.

After all this, it was only half past eight in the morning, and the library didn't open until nine o'clock, and he still had plenty of time to get there by subway.

But when he casually refreshed the Amazon client with his mobile phone, he was taken aback by the number of purchases!

More than 80,000 people have purchased the physical version of "I, Robot", while the digital version of "I, Robot" has been sold even more, with 150,000 people, and the most happy thing for him is that the English version of "i, Robot" has been downloaded more than 1,200 people!

I just slept for a while, and the number of purchases went from single digits to four digits, and there is actually a series of English reviews below!

"What the hell is this, did Amazon recommend it for me?" Lin Han said to himself, he could hardly believe this fact, he thought that without publicity, it would be a victory for this English version to sell 100 copies.

Happiness came so suddenly, it even just refreshed, and there were two more sales!

The morning of Yanjing time is the evening of American time, and after a whole day of fermentation, the forum posts have changed from "new" to "hot", with more than 15 pages of comments alone, and there are many people who only read the comments and do not reply.

With so many people gathered together, almost no bad reviews could be found by those who had read the novel before, only sighing and replying to their truest thoughts.

Evening is the peak time to buy books, students get out of class, office workers get off work, Amazon's keyword search increases rapidly, and by the time Lin Han came to the National Library, the sales had risen to 1,500 people.

There are tens of thousands of active people in SFFWORLD, and tens of thousands of loyal sci-fi readers read the post and converted it into 1,500 purchases, which is actually quite a scary amount of conversion, and many people plan to read it later.

The English version of the novel, which was originally not hopeful for Lin Han, passed word of mouth in the geek circle little by little, showing a situation of rising steadily.
