Electronic Literature Collection Volume Two

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Very Nice! What about the humble PDF, though?

This one is awesome – apart from the pixelated frame (if that’s a deliberate visual aesthetic, I don’t understand why).

Thank you CC for providing even more ways for me to procrastinate!

Online stories beg for new formats … some good examples in here.
