Penguin Books has done a very clever thing, they have started using digital means for storytelling. Author has a story out called “21 Steps”, which takes you through an animated Google Maps during the plot, a much more exciting and compelling way to read a story. The site is called We Tell Stories. Penguin has coined it digital fiction.

I could also see a lot of older books being “translated” into Google Maps, it would be fun doing a danish test, anyone up for using an evening to write it up? And what about rights?
