BioShock Infinite will be preceded by an ebook called Mind in Revolt, intended to offer greater detail about the world of Columbia and its inhabitants before the events of the game begin. "After reading the e-book, players will have a better understanding of BioShock Infinite's world, the struggle between its factions, and the motivations of key characters, like rebel leader Daisy Fitzroy, without spoiling the mysteries of BioShock Infinite," Irrational's Joe Fielder, who wrote the book with creative director Ken Levine, explained in the announcement.

The ebook will be released February 12 for Kindle, priced at $2.99. Amazon pre-orders of BioShock Infinite will be entitled to a free copy. All pre-orders worldwide will also get the in-game Industrial Revolution Pack, with in-game gear, currency, and the Industrial Revolution puzzle game.
