Umm...the Rebel Alliance against the Empire? Or the revolution against the impending zombie apocalypse? Oh I know, the revolution against the One Ring of Power and its dark lord? How come every time I think of "revolution" I think of some battle where the odds are stacked against a hero but the hero still finds a way to come out triumphant?
Okay so a revolution doesn't have to be an actual battle or war. Basically speaking, a revolution is some kind of social change (or one rotation for you science people). So what social change do I want to be at the forefront of? I have no idea...
The only thing that comes to mind is being at the forefront of the ebook revolution. The way people are accessing books is changing and it won't be surprising if print books disappear in the future. It makes sense. Ebooks are cheaper to produce, cheaper to distribute, eReaders can carry dozens of books at a time in a single eReading device, and interactive features can be imbedded in an ebook to offer a more immersive experience. Imagine a book that comes with it's own soundtrack that fits the specific page you're on. Or a book that links to a character's (real or fiction) social media page. What if a self-help book connects you to people in your community willing to help you out. Furthermore eReaders are becoming much more user-friendly and will get to a place where the screen will do zero damage to your eyes. I want my stories to lead the migration from print to digital books.
