Technology
This book was written in the early 2000s, so the technology that was used is relatively modern. Although I could not find the exact process in which it was written, it can be assumed that the author used a computer of some sort and some form of word processing software. This technology requires a power source and sometimes Wifi. This means that this technology is usually inaccessible in undeveloped or impoverished places. This book was released in paperback form. Because this book is printed using a modern printing press, it allows the novel to be widely produced and easily accessible. In addition, it is available online which adds another mode of convenience and accessibility. Online bookselling vendors such as Amazon also create communities of readers who can post their opinions and reviews. These conversations spread the word about novels and can draw in more readers. In this case, it is possible that the buzz around A Little Piece of Ground generated by the controversy itself, created more interest as it reached a sales ranking of 161 on UK Amazon (A Little). Since the challenge by the Canadian bookseller, the book has not been as endangered because of the technical conditions in which it was produced, allowing it to be widely available.
