Before you continue with this you should maybe try to get someone important read ‘Facing the Singularity’ without trying too hard. If that doesn’t work then...
I have my doubts that someone like Terence Tao would read your primer.
For some time now I am watching the real-time stats for my homepage, especially when I post links at places where people of similar calibre to Terence Tao are chatting. And I seldom get more than 2 clicks, even if more than 20 people converse in that thread.
Now it is true that I am a nobody, why would they read a post written on my personal blog? But how would they know that something called ‘Facing the Singularity’ is more worthy of their attention?
If I really wanted to I would probably be able to get them read my stuff. But that’s difficult and would probably take a middleman who shares a link to it on his blog/Google+/Facebook page and whose stuff is subsequently read by top-notch people.
