2. King of Space

   A dark science-fictional ritual of fertility and regeneration, King of Space takes place in an abandoned starship, circling the edges of a plague-ridden and collapsing solar system, where an escaped terrorist meets the last star-captain and his ship's Priestess. Old man and young, young woman and ageless starship meet and meet again as enemies, allies, rapists, and lovers. The story has elements of gaming; an unwise move can send a character to the kitchen ("hundreds of tiny sandwiches, all alike") or into the rocky caverns of the intelligent and unpleasant starship, where a very persistent elevator is waiting to have a conversation; you can meet the Lady Nii's ancient, dreadful lover, King Brady, or become him; you can fall into a maze of love, or find the dance at the center of the world that regenerates the ship. Contains games and animations. Not for kids. (Publisher's blurb)

7. Cinema Volta: Weird Science and Childhood Memory

   "James Petrillo’s classic tale Cinema Volta proves to be something strange at first glance. Combining both text and graphics from the mind of Petrillo, this electronic work simply eludes any categoric pigeonholing. Combining a dream like atmosphere and commentaries on such seminal scientific and literary players as Edison, Tesla, Dante and Mary Shelly, Cinema Volta establishes itself as a representation of the modern memoir in the information age."

10. Wasting Time

    Wasting Time, a story about three characters, is told simultaneously from separate but parallel points of view--using three columns of text in a series of 25 computer monitor screens. The story takes place on a January evening in a house in the Rocky Mountain foothills. (100)
    Wasting Time takes advantage of the computer as a temporal text processor. The dialogue appears on screen at the point when each character would speak. The reader may hit the return key when she is prepared to continue. The reader may not vary the linear progression of text, but may control the speed at which it unfolds. The text is, nonetheless, an "active book." It borrows techniques from film, such as shot-reverse-shot, to control the reader's experience of the text. See also the graphic novel.

    The text for Wasting Time is simple and unadorned. One interesting feature of the program is that the snow falls upwards.
