Aldous Mercer - Release Party for The Prince and the Program (Monday 25/6)

Join Aldous Mercer as he celebrates the release of his first Dreamspinner Press title, The Prince and the Program, over at the Dreamspinner Press Blog. You can expect some help in breaking the codes of the book, excerpts as well as a giveaway or two. http://dreamspinnerpress.com/blog/

CANADIAN AUTHOR WRITES ABOUT ALAN TURING, MAGIC AND THE MATHEMATICS OF LOVE IN "PRINCE AND THE PROGRAM".

A novel by Aldous Mercer, coming June 25th 2012.

In The Prince and the Program, Toronto is rife with Inquisitors, Computer Programmers, and Magic. 

A homage to Alan Turing, and other remarkable people that continue to change the world long after they are dead, the novel is filled with codes, hidden messages and Easter Eggs. 

Parts of the novel can be compiled into computer programs-in the Shakespeare programming language. 

A $1000 award is being offered to the first person to solve the novel's code breaking challenge:

$1,000 CODE BREAKING CHALLENGE
This book contains a number of Easter Eggs that require some basic arithmetic and knowledge of programming—or pencil, paper, and a lot of patience—to decode. (Hint: Easter Eggs may affect standard grammar and punctuation.)
$1000 will be awarded to the first person to find the Golden Egg, which spans the entire length of the novel. More details can be found on  http://www.technomance.com
