Where is Joe?

Twelve books are being distributed to travelers, students, and professors with the following message pasted into the front cover:

"Thank you for agreeing to be part of our social networking experiment with Doublethink. After you read the book, please send an email to jes@raisethebar.com with “Book Number XX” in the subject line. Tell us what you thought about the story and feel free to tell us something about yourself (or not) as you feel comfortable. In the email, include one of the locations where you read it (landmark or street, city, state, country) as we’ll be tracking where this book and the others in our experiment travel. There will be a page on our web site at www.raisethebar.com/whereisJoe that shows the progress of each volume. Then, please pass the book along to someone else who will agree to do the same. Thank you. Gracias. Merci. Danke. Grazie. Obrigado."
