Slate claims that this serial novel is unlike other novels serialized in mainstream media because it will be a -
Net Novel--one that takes advantage of, and draws inspiration from, the capacities of the Internet. The Unbinding, a dark comedy set in the near future, is a compilation of "found documents"--—online diary entries, e-mails, surveillance reports, etc. It will make use of the Internet's unique capacity to respond to events as they happen, linking to documents and other Web sites. In other words, The Unbinding is conceived for the Web, rather than adapted to it.
In addition, Slate marks the debut of its fiction section.

Very cool. I'm looking forward to checking this book out. Hopefully this will help increase the opportunities for authors to make some money online.
It sure sounds like an exciting venture, Kalbzayn. It would be interesting to see how it plays it with the author having to write a lot in a "responsive" manner and also something that is publication ready.
