In theory all the world could tell its story writing and reading it at the same time. Wiki novel was born in Web and there is living. In some passages it isn't bad at all.

I suspect not. This single project has probably given Penguin more publicity than any other book they published this year, most of it in places that never cover publishing. And they deserve it--this is a worthy experiment in communal creativity. Here's hoping they've inspired others. Publisher’s worst nightmare? I suspect not.
