Open Road Media

Open Road Media is the publishing organization identified with the 2016 edition of Harlan Ellison’s A Boy and His Dog. Its role is bibliographic and material rather than fictional: it presents the book as a commercially issued edition of Ellison’s science-fiction work and provides the publication framework through which this version reaches readers.

Edition and Publication Role

Open Road Media is credited on the edition’s front matter as the publisher of the July 2016 release. The same publication record classifies the book as fiction, science fiction, apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic literature, action and adventure, and a classic, establishing the editorial context in which the organization presents the work.

Corporate Publication Details

The edition states that it was published in 2016 by Open Road Integrated Media, Inc., the corporate name associated with Open Road Media in the bibliographic material. The imprint’s listed address is 180 Maiden Lane, New York, NY 10038. These details identify the legal and physical publishing entity behind the edition rather than a setting or organization within the story.

Digital and Material Framework

The edition also supplies the website www.openroadmedia.com and the ISBN 978-1-5040-3825-6. Together with the 2016 publication statement, these details make Open Road Media part of the book’s traceable modern circulation: the organization is represented through a standardized edition, corporate address, identifying number, and web presence. The cover design is credited to Mauricio Díaz, further showing that the edition is a produced material object shaped by coordinated publishing labor.

Significance to the Book’s Reception

Open Road Media’s significance lies in preservation and renewed access. By issuing A Boy and His Dog in 2016, the organization gives a previously published work a contemporary bibliographic form without becoming a participant in its post-apocalyptic narrative. Its edition frames Ellison’s book for readers through the recognizable categories of science fiction, action and adventure, and post-apocalyptic fiction, linking the work’s literary identity to the practical systems of modern publishing and distribution.
