And you're surprised? I haven't read more than a five thousand words by or about Wright and I am not at all surprised.
What was your goal? Did you tune your pitch to this audience?
My goal was to promote my book Singularity Rising. John Wright wasn't the intended or expected audience, although I knew he worked with the author of the blog my essay appeared in.
I was surprised by the magnitude of his negative reaction.
