This sort of thing is not new.  During WW2, John Campbell -- editor of
Astounding Science Fiction and essentially the founder of modern SF --
apparently had a wall map with colored pins showing the distribution of A.S.F.
sales.  He found it interesting that A.S.F. sold many copies in obscure places
like Oak Ridge and Los Alamos, where there wasn't supposed to be anything
noteworthy going on...
