Chapter 106 The victory of the geek
He is a fan of comics and science fiction. He not only collects various comics, but also knows the plots. He has watched many science fiction movies and is easy to get the bugs in it. He likes "Star Trek", so he pursues "Star Wars", and participates in robot confrontations in his spare time.
Science fiction has always been the favorite of geeks, and whether it is novels or movies, TV series have made them addicted to it.
It just so happens that "I, Robot" is such a novel that can make geeks crazy. It is a very hard science fiction novel. It has entered the eyes of the geek group since the original Amazon electronic version. They used their talents to make this novel the top three bestsellers list, which made the world puzzled.
The whim of this small group created the beginning of Lin Han's legendary career, which is indeed an incredible coincidence.
Promoting your favorite novels for more people to see is probably the common wish of many people. Geeks will not adopt the lowest-efficiency promotion model and start promoting them in a simple and crude way.
In the sffworld forum, there are even geeks who are the administrators of the forum. This way, you can naturally get the best results when you start a topic. As long as you pass through the novels that are seen by geeks, you will most likely succeed.

"One Hundred Most Classic Science Fiction Novels"
“Nothing to Miss in 2016”
"The most wonderful robot novel in history"
"The three unprecedented laws of robots conquer Silicon Valley tycoons"
The Internet can be said to be the battlefield that geeks are most familiar with, and various promotions are almost impossible to defeat them, so "I, Robot" began with a prairie fire.
They have elevated "I, Robot" to the status of science fiction classics. This publicity momentum is very good, and almost all major book retailers are making a fortune in silence.
Staff at the US branch of Penguin Publishing Group had to continue placing orders for the printing factory, and market demand suddenly burst out, which caught people off guard.
Looking at the achievements of themselves and others, these geeks were all excited, and the sense of accomplishment of being able to hold a book with their own hands was beyond words.
However, the specific process cannot be disclosed on the Internet, but can only be circulated in their small groups, preserved as secrets, and hidden merits and fame.
At this time, Lin Han was in a big spot and his popularity suddenly surpassed other writers. Being able to occupy a place on the foreign list is something that many media and Chinese people are proud of.
However, just as the reporters tried every means to contact Lin Han and obtained the interview, Lin Han's Weibo actually updated a message: "On May 1, the new book "Martian Rescue" was launched on sale in various major channels around the world, and pre-sales in Chinese and English began! The new book you want is here, and there are still fifteen days left. I'll spoil it. This is a very happy book."
Since the copyright of Chinese and English physical books has been sold, there is nothing wrong with having a grand global launch ceremony. Anyway, Chen Jiaxuan has asked the big publishing house to coordinate the time with Penguin Publishing Group and not to treat readers in any aspect unfairly.
Since the Galaxy Awards ceremony, Lin Han has announced the progress of the new book online, but it has only been confirmed that the time for the sale has been set, which has almost made readers eager to see.
With the sales foundation of the previous book, Renmin University Press directly made a big investment to print 1 million copies in the first print, and was always ready to add the prints later, which was a sign of being the first place.
Penguin Publishing Group also posted messages on Weibo and Twitter, so as not to have any blind people to go and dig out Lin Han’s corner, and it’s best to settle things as soon as possible.
Just when the sales of "I, Robot" are rising, people are looking forward to another book.
