Abstract

The article describes the creation of the fake biotechnology firm Nextgencode, which was developed by HarperCollins Publishers to promote the book "Next," by Michael Crichton. The thriller book is about genetic research, and the publishing company is hopeful that this advertising technique, along with online and print ads, will increase interest in the book.
