I haven't put too much time into it, but I'll bet I could waste a few hours (or worse) in here. Looks like a real attempt at a hypertext novel. This was a big idea in academic circles ten years ago (at least where I was at school,) but as far as I can tell, never really caught on with the people actually making the web (as opposed to the scholars just thinking about the web.) Anyway, this is what some people were saying was going to happen to writing. Think it will catch on?
I used to take my art-rock very seriously. Dr. Progresso still does.
Here's an article on the possibility of micropayments (the ability to charge a very small amount for web content.) This idea has been around for a long time, but hasn't ever caught on (for some technical, and maybe other reasons.) Now it looks like it might be almost ready for real use. Would this be a good thing? Or is it better for the web that people write things just because they want to? (from hack the planet, but now I see that Kottke is talking about this, and I guess it's hot on metafilter too. What comes around...)
