The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

The Wolves of Mercy Falls is a series of four novels, located in the genres of romance, fantasy and young adult (YA) fiction, written by Maggie Stiefvater. Published by American multinational company Scholastic from between 2009 and 2014, the series consists of the titles Shiver (published 1 August 2009), Linger (published 13 July 2010), Forever (published 12 July 2011) and Sinner (published 1 July 2014). Set in the fictional town of Mercy Falls, Stiefvater has stated that the real town of Ely in Minnesota would be its closest neighbouring destination, with the two towns sharing a similar climate. The novels largely follow the relationship of Grace Brisbane and Samuel K. “Sam” Roth, as tensions between humans and wolves/werewolves rise throughout the small town of Mercy Falls, in the wake of the attack of a school boy. Shiver (2009), the first book in the Shiver trilogy, is written from the alternating perspectives of both Grace and Sam. The second book, Linger (2010), includes the perspectives of Isabel Culpeper and Cole St Clair, alongside those of Grace and Sam. The final book in the Shiver Trilogy, Forever (2011), is written from Grace, Sam, Isabel and Cole's perspectives, with a small chapter of prologue from a werewolf named Shelby. The fourth addition to The Wolves of Mercy Falls series, titled Sinner (2014), is a standalone book which closely follows the characters of Isabel Culpeper and Cole St Clair, set in the Southern California city of Los Angeles, as told from the perspectives of Isabel and Cole. Stiefvater's Shiver remained on The New York Times (NYT) bestseller list for over 32 weeks in 2009, selling 130,996 copies. Since publication, it has been licensed in over 30 foreign territories. The second book in the series, Linger, debuted at number 1 on the NYT Bestseller list in 2010. There are more than 1.7 million copies of the Shiver trilogy in print. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
