Literary remixes...



While I have not read the respun version of Pride and Prejudice which involves zombies, apropriately titled: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, just looking at the first page gives you the drift. I want to point it out as a remix that has nothing to do with computers and while it's just one in the many zombie based books that publishers know will sell out of sheer novelty, it's choice of remixing a classic public domain Jane Austen novel seems more big leagues than setting "david at the dentist" to technobeats . While I'm not planning on rewriting a 400 page 18th century novel, I like the inventiveness.
