guess Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Anyone read this? I am trying to figure out if this is just a book with a bunch of hype or something different. At $50, it is very expensive for a book. When I go to the site and look at the FAQ and videos I see a bunch of really vague hype about how this is a totally new experience. When I look at it, it looks like 1 book, written by several authors, and a message board. I see some vague stuff about how the message board is part of the story, but it sounds like its just a place for people to chat. The reviews of the story are mixed. Is it more than this? It sounds like its alot of hype and basically another book. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eerongal he/him Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Never heard of it, but looking into it really quick, it looks like it was originally released as a serialized story on android/iOS, and the apps for them are still available. The android app, at least, appears to be free. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yados Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Where are you living that this costs $50? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guess Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Neal Stephenson leads it, but there are other authors. I downloaded the Mongoliad app for my Ipad. It was $50 to get to the story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe ST he/him Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 I think its a collaborative story telling thing. I have it on my to-read list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riddlesinthedark he/him Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) Did anyone else look at this and first see Mongoloid? Its hard to understand how this title got green-lighted. Edited August 30, 2012 by Voldy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
