Through Google, of course. With the new google maps quickly becoming the default method of checking directions, city layouts, and scoping out new neighborhoods through satellite feed, I guess it was only a matter of time before someone made them into an art form. This story, The 39 Steps, is told entirely through google maps, with locations being tagged by various portions of the character’s thoughts and actions, tracking him across London.
So now, people are wondering if this might not become a new way of either putting the story across or at least adding extra content to it. Want to track Harry Dresden’s adventures throughout Chicago, or see where Mac’s might be located? Maybe with some help from Jim Butcher on pinning the locations down, it is entirely possible.
What story or character would you want to follow around the world? Have you ever read a book set in a certain city or locale and not really gained any sense of how the geography fits together as they run around trying to save the world?
This could be worth exploring.
I see that smile.
