THE iCANDIDATE – AN INTERACTIVE POLITICAL THRILLER
The iCandidate is being serialized now only on NoteStream
The iCandidate is a unique interactive thriller about a political reality show to choose a potential President of the United States in which the reader has a key say in how the plot unfolds. In The iCandidate, eight finalists from all walks of life face the kind of challenges they might have to deal with in the Oval Office:
• Will they use the nuclear button?
• What will they do about ISIS?
• How will they cope in a crisis?
At the end of each round the reader gets to cast an iVote to help determine who stays and who goes home. It is democracy in its purest form, free from party loyalties, donor obligations and antiquated electoral practices.
Get to know the iCandidates now – and make your iVote count.
In the novel, serialized weekly on NoteStream, the eventual people’s champion goes on to challenge the political establishment in an iCampaign for the presidency climaxing in an explosive finale in Washington on November 8.
But The iCandidate has even greater aspirations to trigger a revolution in the way America selects the most powerful man or woman on the planet.
Change America one iVote at a time by choosing your iCandidate.
While the eyes of Washington are on the Democratic and GOP primaries and caucus votes, the rest of America is increasingly infatuated by a reality show that claims to have discovered a much better way to choose the next President of the United States.
Why not set potential presidents a series of challenges to prove their credibility? Why not vote on an app?
These are the questions being pondered by America’s voters. Do they keep faith in a two-party political system mired in the past? Or do they put their trust in the latest cutting edge technology to get the most accurate count possible?
The show, devised and presented by Andy Kristoff, will have all the key questions answered as we follow Hollywood’s attempt to revolutionize the US election voting system.
Read about it each week in the NoteStream Book Club’s exclusive serialization of The iCandidate – Looking for Heroes, Election 2016.
The race will keep you on the edge of your seat – with an outcome that is certain to shock!
For an annual membership fee of just 99 cents, you can play a vital role in determining America’s future. Sign up now to help take back America for the people one iVote at a time.
