~15 years ago you were living in your van on a beach in Hawaii, jobless, listening to Dre's 2001 everyday.

Do you ever miss anything about those days? Simpler times, being able to go anywhere you want without fear of paparazzi, etc.

Ms. Atwood: thank you for doing the AMA! As a young Canadian, I absolutely love your work.

I know that you tweet quite often and must be online quite a bit time. Jonathan Franzen famously unplugs his computer from the Internet while writing and has spoken about how he thinks the internet is shortening attention spans and making it harder to read and think seriously.

My question is: Do you think the Internet and frenetic present makes it harder to read and write serious fiction and non-fiction?
