Bats of the Republic: An Illuminated Novel
by Zachary Thomas Dodson
I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of this "book," though I have no idea where I ended up at the end. I picked it up because of the incredible amount of art and design that went into the print edition (don't bother to read it as digital, it would lose its whole purpose). It's got two books within the book, carbon and photo copies, hand drawings, audio transcripts, and interactive paper folding, all of which somehow come out as legitimately necessary to tell this story. As you may read in other reviews, the end left me a bit baffled, and unfulfilled, but I still rate it highly for the overall journey.
