This morning I came across an interesting article about book publishing in the future.  Apparently Penguin Books is doing an experiment called “We Tell Stories” with delivering six different books through six different medium channels over the next six weeks.  The first two are already done…  Google Maps for the first week and a  Blogging/Twitter combination for the second.  The third is an interactive writing of a fairy tale…

The google maps mashup, “The 21 Steps” is very creative.  There are certainly stories that would benefit from something like this.

I like the blogging/twitter combination book “Slice.“  Blogging is a pretty good way of reading a book.  RSS and twitter for little extra’s.  That seems cool to me.

The third one “Fairy Tales” is interesting because there are many, many different outcomes to the story.  Very clever… and interactive.  Should keep our attention.

What do you think?  What other mediums do you think they will use?  Is this progression, or regression?
