- I am currently trying to develop a course on hypertext fictions (poetry
- included), and am looking for material. Does anyone know of any out there
- that are available for such a course (either commerically, as shareware, or
- free for use with permission? I know about pretty much everything offered by
- Eastgate Systems, Jim Rosenberg's Intergrams, Richard Gess's Mahasukha Halo,
- Stuart Moulthrop's Forking Paths and Chaos, the hyperfictions in the
- issue of Writing on the Edge on hypertext, and the hyperfictions in the latest
- issue of Perforations. Can anybody suggest other sources? I've heard of
- some work of this type being done by people associated with the Well, but
- I don't know how to get in touch with anyone there; I've also heard of a
- writer named Judy Malloy, possibly associated with the Well (but I'm not
- sure about that), but I don't know how to get in touch with her either, or
- how to get hold of any of her work exept for the piece that appeared in
- Perforations. Can anyone supply me with addresses for any of these people,
- electronic addresses preferred? Finally, can anyone suggest useful
- historical material that might be of interest in such a class (must-read
- sources on maohr figures like Ted Nelson or Doug Englebart, for instance,
- or useful overviews of the computer science issues involved? Any assistance
- anyone can give me would me much appreciated. Reply here or direct to
- my address below.
- Thank you,
