    Getting here a couple of weeks late... Love the ideas above, the ARG, children's book, etc. Here are a couple more: (1) Maybe not a remix, but an accessory: a map-app (mapp?) of San Francisco, something like Phantom City (see BLDGBLOG for more) where passages of the book are mapped onto the city. It might also include an additional layer with fan created sites and side-stories. (2) More of a remix: localized versions – not just translating to other languages/dialects, but also changing the story to fit other cities' cultures and geographies.

    Robin writes a book (and you get a copy) by Robin Sloan

    I'm writing a detective story set halfway between San Francisco and the internet. And the more people who reserve a copy, the better each one will be!
