Noted Literary Dunce Ayn Rand Finally Goes Interactive with Atlas Shrugged App [IPad Apps]

Noted Literary Dunce Ayn Rand Finally Goes Interactive with Atlas Shrugged AppThat pretentious kid from high school/college/life who cited Ayn Rand quotes about the glory of self-interest and the triumph of the free market, despite being kind of a broke-ass loser? He's about to start masturbating: Atlas Shrugged, the app.

Now, the sterile prose and pseudo-philosophy of Ayn Rand can accompany you to the beach, or on the bus! The $15 iPad version contains the full unabridged text, with lots of talk about skyscrapers and stoic men and whatnot, along with audio and video recordings of Ayn Rand herself, should you need to perform an enhanced interrogation on someone. But what would Ayn Rand think about carrier-subsidized tablet prices? [iTunes via MediaBistro]

Interactive Kindle Books Are My Kind of Nostalgia [Kindle]

Interactive Kindle Books Are My Kind of NostalgiaI think we can all agree that if Shakespeare had been alive in the late-80s, he would've written Choose Your Own Adventure books. So thank you, Amazon, for bringing one of mankind's greatest literary genre achievements to Kindle.

The specific Choose Your Own Adventure franchise hasn't come to Amazon's ebook reader yet, but several "interactive" books along that vein have started to pop up in the Kindle Store. Chief among them: The King of Shreds and Patches, a desktop PC game that's been reborn as novel-length text-based game that sells for four bucks.

Sounds fun! And since I haven't owned a graphing calculator since 1999, could I make a modest request for Kindle Drug Wars? Maybe? [Amazon via Technology Review]
