We were lucky to have great weather last week for the official London launch of the Ambient Literature project. Looking out over the Thames from the roof deck of the Hachette offices, a great crowd of authors, publishers, academics and media turned out to help us kick off the project. We were thrilled to be joined by representatives from our technical development partner, Calvium, and by the three authors who will be making new works to help us explore the landscape of ambient literature.

In addition to all the great conversation, we got to hear from the project’s co-investigators, Jon Dovey, Tom Abba and Kate Pullinger, as well as get a preview from the three authors about what they’ll be working on over the next two years. Also on display was the first ambient literature experiment set up to give atendees of the launch an early taste of what ambient literature can be.

Thanks to everyone who came out for the event; it was certainly a great way to kick off the project!
