You know Cory Doctorow? Science fiction author who has written two novels (Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom and Eastern Standard Tribe)under a Creative Commons license?
Well, folks are taking advantage of the rights Mr. Doctorow didn't reserve,
Wild remixes
Trevor Smith has whipped up two amazing remixes of Eastern Standard Tribe, my new novel. The first is a "
speed-reader," based on the research of Xerox PARC researcher Rich Gold, which flashes the book, one word at a time, up on the screen, at a high rate of speed. It is astonishingly readable, and makes you feel like you've found a back-door to your brain's comprehension nodes.
That speed reader is a Java applet. Interesting.
