Last month, this blog hosted a guest post on dystopian science fiction by author Yaron Glazer. We’re happy to announce that Noble Beast is going to publish Statisicity, his dystopian sci-fi thriller set in Shanghai in the year 2084. Noble Beast is an amazing new publisher of enhanced ebooks, and their recent title – Steampunk Holmes – is a beautiful example from this emerging field of publishing.
Utilizing Noble Beast’s platform, Statisticity will incorporate maps, schematics and blueprints, character profiles, wikis, additional scenes, and illustrations – a host of features to enhance the reading experience and give added depth to the work. There’s a short video introducing the platform on the Statisticity Kickstarter page that provides a good sense of how the finished ebook will look and feel.
There are only 3 days left in the Statisticity Kickstarter. As with most innovators trying to shake up a sleepy industry, Noble Beast is a bootstrapped startup. That means the project still needs to find an audience that will help fund the enhanced ebook’s artwork and other unique features. Please visit the Kickstarter page and help write the future of science fiction:
