Whittlings

Since Perplex City was put on “indefinite hold” a couple of years ago, I’ve been following and adoring the work of Adrian Hon, it’s lead creative developer; mainly in the hope of seeing if he’s working on another ARG, but also because of how innately interesting almost all of his works turn out to be. Most recently, they’ve been working with Penguin Books on developing We Tell Stories, a project which seems to be experimenting with form of story telling which uniquely uses the Internet and resources on the Internet as it’s medium. Their first story released yesterday, was written by Charles Cumming and uses Google Maps to tell a short story. Adrian gives an overview of his thoughts on its inception here.
It’s a great idea that’s been well implemented, and is well worth a read.
