The book in my previous post — contract now signed! — will be out quite soon, as ReAnimus is a nimble publisher. It has hand-drawn maps of the peculiar planet where the story mainly happens, but these would gain a lot from computer graphics, which on the book's web site can be interactive.
If you already know a fractal landscape generating software tool (no time to start from learning it), would you like to join this project?

The Living Labyrinth
"Classic science fiction: a startling and original premise, a character-driven plot exploring that premise with great imagination and ingenuity... Recalls Niven at his best — with better science."
—Stephen Baxter
My last post said "will be out quite soon, as ReAnimus is a nimble publisher." It is a nimble publisher, but the book was delayed by a minor stroke and the building of a dedicated web site, with background on future history, weird ecology, animated spacetime diagrams, and so on. The site's full of 'spoilers': if you can't read St Mark because St Matthew gave away the ending (the hero rises again) you should avoid it, at least until you've read the book. But if and when you have, and in particular if you feel inspired to create fanfic, fan art, fangineering or fanscience, the site is the place to go.
