description: from The Silent History website: The Silent History is a novel written and designed specially for iPad and iPhone that uses serialization exploration and collaboration to tell the story of a generation of unusual children. The story is presented in two forms: Testimonials and Field Reports.Testimonials are presented in the form of oral histories told by characters directly affected by the condition  parents teachers doctors cult leaders faith healers and government officials with unexpected intersections and unifying narratives. A new Testimonial will be revealed to subscribers daily.The Field Reports are short site-specific accounts that deepen and expand the central narrative written and edited in collaboration with the readers of the Testimonials. To access and comprehend a Field Report the reader must be physically present in the location where the Report is set. Reports are deeply entwined with the particularities of their specific physical environments  the stains on the sidewalk the view between the branches a strangely ornate bannister etc  so that the text and the actual setting support and enhance each other. Each of these reports can be read on its own but they all interrelate and cohere within the larger narrative.
