Rushkoff to write SMS novel
Rushkoff over at TheFeature.com has announced he will be writing his first SMS novel. "Unlike the ones I've seen so far, however, I want it to be native to the wireless space. If it's text and text/image messages that will serve as the medium of transmission, then they should be messages from the organic world of the book. An epistolary, if you will, in SMS. I'll be sure to let you know how it's coming - I do plan to begin transmitting the thing before it's actually done, so that users can have some impact on how things turn out. But I need a couple of months to organize a very non-linear narrative and then create some opportunities for unexpected narrative to emerge."
