Reconstructing Mayakovsky: it's free, it's on the web, it's like nothing you've seen before

Reconstructing Mayakovsky: a novel of the future.
Set in the future, Reconstructing Mayakovsky revisits the past to make sense of our chaotic present. Inspired by Vladimir Mayakovsky, the Russian Futurist poet who killed himself in 1930 at the age of thirty-six, the novel imagines a world where uncertainty and tragedy have finally been eliminated through technology. Like the novel, the site uses "found" objects (sound, image,text) and combines elements of the historical novel, science fiction, poetry, and the detective novel to create a new literary form. If you enjoy it, I hope you will consider featuring it as a link or reviewing it on your blog or sharing it with friends. I am also interested in finding a forward-thinking publisher for a hardcopy version. Thanks. Illya Szilak
