Signal to Noise

Signal to Noise (2007, 2nd edition) : Originally serialized in The Face, Signal to Noise is the story of a film director dying of cancer. His life’s crowning achievement, his greatest film, would have told the story of a European village as the last hour of 999 A.D. approached — the midnight that the villagers were convinced would bring with it Armageddon. Now that story will never be told. But he’s still working it out in his head, making a film that no one will ever see. No one but us. Signal to Noise is a poignant story, rich in humanity, depth, and communications theory. A beautifully designed and printed book, showcasing McKean’s stunning artwork and Gaiman’s story, Signal to Noise will make you re-evaluate your thinking about the potential of the medium and a book you will be proud to share with your friends.
