2K Games and Irrational Games have announced that BioShock Infinite: Mind in Revolt, an e-book prequel to BioShock Infinite, will be available worldwide for the Amazon Kindle beginning February 12 for $2.99 and will be free for those who pre-order the game through Amazon.

Mind in Revolt is written by Irrational Games’ writer Joe Fielder with help from Creative Director Ken Levine. It will provide insight into the world of Columbia before the events of Infinite.

“Since we first announced BioShock Infinite, our fans have asked for more information about Columbia and the complex cast of characters that inhabit the floating city,” said Fielder. “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.”

BioShock Infinite is scheduled to release worldwide on March 26 for the Xbox 360, PS3  and PC.
