Here is a bit of what Wired Magazine, the Los Angeles Times, and the New York Times are saying about Silent History:
"...artistically exceptional, and also built around technological innovation." --Los Angeles Times
“The Silent History, a sprawling electronic novel that plays with the mechanics of how stories are told, taking full advantage of the tablet’s GPS and touchscreen....” -- Wired Magazine
“They wrote a 160,000-word book and, using the iPhone for inspiration, created a “scavenger hunt” element allowing readers to see more story lines by visiting specific locations — like China and Washington, D.C. — that are outlines on a map within the app. Users can also add their own story lines.” -- New York Times
