Die Electric features art/ sculpture/ housewares (or some hybrid of the three) that make you think hard about your electrical use -- corks for your plugs, light-switch hooks that turn off the lights when you hang up your coat, a hand-towel with plugs that can hang from your power-outlet and so on. None of it conducts electricity -- it just piggybacks on the receptacles in your home.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
