Forget what Virginia Woolf said about
What a writer needs-a room of one’s own. The writer she had in mind wasn’t at
work on a novel in cyberspace, one with multiple hypertexts, animated graphics
and downloads of trancey, chiming music. For that you also need graphic
interfaces, ReslPlayer and maybe even a computer laboratory at Brown University.
That was where Mark Amerika—his legally adopted name; don’t ask him about his
birth name-composed much of his novel Grammatron. But Grammatron isn’t just a

the brain, the Harvard team hopes to predict how consumers will react to
particular products and to discover the most effective ways to present
information. Stephen Kosslyn, a professor of psychology at Harvard, and business
school professor Gerald Zaltman, oversee the lab. "The goal is not to manipulate
people’s preferences," says Kosslyn
