It's so high, that in a later post (the next day!), he says he's out
of preview copies, but may send advance copies.  Pleading the case may
be easy, though, given the requirements he lists on the post.  (Even
you might be able to, Jay: claim that you want to review it on behalf
of the Extropy Institute - posting a review to this list would
technically fulfill that obligation - and explain ExI in terms he'd
recognize as wanting to play a role in the world he's mapping out.)

Possible sign of approaching Singularity: when moving fast enough, is
no longer fast enough.  (Not that it's mostly Sing-related in this
case: he's just that popular.  He boasts of having gotten a request
from a senior advisor to a member of the UK's Parilament after having
run out of preview copies.)
