About Digital Special Editions:

A Digital Special Edition (DSE) is a museum-grade, interactive reader experience that maximizes author margins through direct sales. Built on Neuro-Architecture principles, it uses Prediction Errors to surprise and Visual Beauty to delight, creating a biological oxytocin bond between the author and the reader through immersive sensory artifacts.
