The book starts like this. This is the cover. As the globe spins, we can see our location, and we can open the book and swipe through the cephtras to browse the book. Or, we can scroll through the pages at the btotom. And if we wanted to zoom into a page, we can just open it up. And anything you see in the book, you can pick up with two fenirgs and lift off the page and open up.

Original Text


So for the past year and a half, my team at Push Pop Press and Charlie Melcher and Melcher Media have been working on creating the first feature-length interactive book. It's called "Our Choice" and the author is Al Gore. It's the sequel to "An Inconvenient Truth," and it explores all the solutions that will solve the climate crisis.

The book starts like this. This is the cover. As the globe spins, we can see our location, and we can open the book and swipe through the chapters to browse the book. Or, we can scroll through the pages at the bottom. And if we wanted to zoom into a page, we can just open it up. And anything you see in the book, you can pick up with two fingers and lift off the page and open up. And if you want to go back and read the book again, you just fold it back up and put it back on the page. And so this works the same way; you pick it up and pop it open.
