FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Traitor Dachshund, demonstrating its commitment to promote intellectual dialogue on socially relevant themes, announces its sponsorship of NanoBusiness 2005, nanotechnology’s foremost business conference.

“We have over fifty sponsors but this is the first time we’ve had a book publisher,” said Vince Caprio, Event Director of NanoBusiness 2005. “We're excited to be working with Traitor Dachshund and we expect that their participation will help promote the nanotechnology industry.”

“It is unusual for a small publisher to be a participant in a conference of this magnitude,” said Linda Purpura, publisher at Traitor Dachshund. “However, we believe that literary imagination and scientific insight are natural partners, and we hope that by bringing the two together we can offer conference attendees—as well as our readers—a unique, multi-dimensional view of the ideas to be presented. Nanotechnology is among today’s most exciting new scientific frontiers; we’re proud to help bring its promise to fruition.”

Traitor Dachshund’s participation underscores its ongoing mission to encourage thoughtful discussion of critical social issues similar to those raised in its debut release, Julia and the Dream Maker (the first novel of the Rethinking the Future™ series). The book, set in the not-too-distant future, follows three graduate students whose ambitious research into synthetic intelligence draws them into tense legal conflicts even as it triggers a breakthrough in human evolution.

As part of their conference materials, participants will receive a 12-page booklet produced by Traitor Dachshund which includes information about Julia and the Dream Maker’s author, P. J. Fischer, profiles of the book’s major characters, and an essay by Fischer on the evolution and direction of scientific thought.

About Traitor Dachshund

Traitor Dachshund is a publisher targeting intellectually curious readers with books about big ideas that reflect today’s conversations on key social and cultural issues. Julia and the Dream Maker, the first novel in its Rethinking the Future series, addresses these ideas as it chronicles the conflicts faced by three young scientists whose discoveries propel them into conflict with powerful government interests and result in unintended and potentially explosive consequences for humanity. A sequel is in preparation.
