Er, to be clear: it's a joke. If HBO ever mounts a production of this book, their days are numbered. Though friends tell me that reading it aloud is a good way to put their children to sleep...
I see @patio11 like the original tweet, & think "Hmm, I'm sure he would have done something cleverer than sign over those rights, even if their expected value was ~$0 in any reasonable model". We had no idea what we were doing "negotiating" [sic] that contract!
In fact, the smartest thing for us done in our contract was done by our editor, not us. He insisted on a paperback (unusual for a 700 page postgrad text, & we would never have thought of it). I suspect a lot of publishers would have been hostile, & it was very important.
this is a good hack.
