What does George R.R. Martin and Android have in common?
Yeah I don't know either but apparently Google thinks they do.

Google interviewed George R.R. Martin for their Authors@Google series

They've even made a special shirt for this event image below.



I'm such a nerd, I actually want one of those shirts (link)

Apparently he is also uses an ereader here is a quote from the text

Quote:
After the talk, I was able to chat with Martin a little about ebooks. The author says he carries his e-reader with him now whenever he travels, whereas in the past, he would incur overweight baggage charges because of the 10 or more physical books he would inevitably bring along. But he was also concerned that digital piracy might do to the book industry what it did to the music industry.
