[Trailhead?] Stories From Our Future An ebook with a weird image in it I still haven't bought the ebook because it's not in my college student budget until Friday, but here are the posts from the speculation thread on it:

I was looking through Amazon for books about ARGs today and this one popped up:

I'm hesitant to buy it but I thought I'd give everyone a heads up in case it is a game. I'm going to download the sample and see if it's any good.

I just took a look and there is a weird image with numbers on it. It's very ARG-y, but I don't know how to get the image off the ebook and onto the site.

I'm super sorry for replying again but I poked around and found a Facebook that has one of the images on it.

The top letter string is On-Shadows using ROT18.
The numbers are word-letter count for the paragraph below the picture in the book. You can peek inside the book on the amazon page linked in an above post to see the image and the text underneath. The message is "Generator dying send new one".
I haven't played a game in years so I don't know how this goes, but in case this does end up being an ARG I thought I'd move this to its own thread.

She also tweets about a coupon for the ebook if anyone is interested in that.

I got a copy of the book. There are two other pages (at the beginning of each chapter) with different birds & different codes (& different chemical images). Will look at them when I get back this morning...

Well...either I need more coffee or the other images don't work quite the same was as the first. Can't seem to get anything sensible out of them for now...
