In just over one amazing week, a group of Twitter collaborators created a book, titled 2:46: Aftershocks: Stories from the Japan Earthquake also known as “#quakebook”, to raise money for Japanese Red Cross earthquake and tsunami relief. As well as narratives by people who braved the disaster, the book contains essays by authors William Gibson and Barry Eisler, as well as artist/musician Yoko Ono.
