Experimenting with Literature and Technology

Interview with Peter Collingridge, co-founder of Enhanced Editions, in what is fast becoming my new favorite spot for reflection, The Literary Platform

It’s not like some books are fair trade, limited edition, organic or free range or whatever. They’re all the same – exactly.

Enhanced Editions created an iPhone app for Nick Cave's new book The Death of Bunny Monro. It's full of videos, audio bits, images. You can get the first three Chapters free; for all my talk about the War Between the Objects and the Non-Objects, I have yet to give one of these App Books a try. Perhaps this will be my first.
