The Bubble Bath

Tags: 
Description (in English): 

By clicking your way through a hypertext, you have the freedom of choice, or so many readers tend to believe. For those free spirits, The Bubble Bath has been built as an educational training camp that knows only one goal: to make the readers learn to love the fact that it is not they who drive the text; rather it is the text that is pulling them through the story by means of cheap tricks, false cursors, empty promises, invisible windows, and bad-mannered JavaScript codes that keep producing almost uncontrollable events. Netscape does not permit codes like these, nor does Opera or Apple systems; it is only Microsoft that conditions the online reading experience in such a fashion.
