Microsoft’s Halo 2 viral marketing campaign, ilovebees.com (see my Futurismic post for details), has finally revealed its hand. It turns out that Sean Stewart, one of the least appreciated speculative fiction authors alive today, was the Lead Author on this, just as he was for The Beast, a similar campaign developed to promote Steven Spielberg’s A.I.

If you're interested in Sean’s work, there are excerpts on his site. I recently read the three chapters from the chilling A Perfect Circle on Salon, and am now anxious to read the entire work.
