[arg_discuss] Does anyone know anything about this book?

[mj williams]

'the coolest phenomenon in the world'?
maybe, maybe not.
But a novel about an ARG? Song about architecture, anyone?

"THIS IS NOT A GAME is a novel built around the coolest phenomenon in  
the
world. That phenomenon is known as the Alternate Reality Game, or  
ARG.  It's
big, and it's getting bigger.  It's immersive and massively  
interactive, and
it's spreading through the Internet at the speed of light. To the  
player,
the Alternate Reality Game has no boundaries.  You can be standing in a
parking lot, or a shopping center.  A pay phone near you will ring,  
and on
the other end will be someone demanding information. You'd better have  
the
information handy.

ARGs combine video, text adventure, radio plays, audio, animation,
improvisational theater, graphics, and story into an immersive  
experience.

Now, one of science fiction's most acclaimed writers, Walter Jon  
Williams,
brings this extraordinary phenomenon to life in a pulse-pounding  
thriller.
This is not a game.  This is a novel that will blow your mind."
