This is the iPhone/iPod-compatible trailer for Subversia, the upcoming nonfiction collection from D.R. Haney (July 2010) and the first title on the new TNB Books imprint.

You can watch it at the TNB iTunes channel. You can download it to your iPod, iPhone, etc., and take it with you wherever you go. You can then show it to people — complete strangers, even.

You can watch it on, say, a crowded subway, or at a professional baseball game, and you can point to it and smile and let everyone around you know that you are utterly entranced.

You can share it with millions and millions and millions of people if you want to.

Seriously.

We don’t mind at all.
