   Victory Garden is a hypertext novel which is set during the Gulf War, in 1991. The story centres on Emily Runbird and the lives and interactions of the people connected with her life. Although Emily is a central figure to the story and networked lives of the characters, there is no one character who could be classed as the protagonist. Each character in Victory Garden lends their own sense of perspective to the story and all characters are linked through a series of bridges and connections.

2. Retournement

   Retournement est une animation syntaxique de 1991. Ce n’est pas tant le mouvement des mots sur l’écran qui compte dans l’animation syntaxique, mais la modification syntaxique que ce mouvement entraîne. Ainsi, suivre les mots des yeux pour lire ou effectuer une lecture spatiale de l’écran « produit » des textes différents. La lecture pouvant à chaque instant basculer entre ces deux modes, le nombre de textes contenus dans ces quelques mots est indéterminé et il est impossible pour le lecteur de les construire tous à la lecture de l’animation. Il s’agit d’un type de générateur non algorithmique que seul un traitement spatio-temporel du langage permet et dont le lecteur est lui-même le moteur d’inférence. À certains moments de l’animation, le sens peut ainsi être perçu comme optimiste ou pessimiste selon la modalité de lecture ; un verbe peut même devenir son propre sujet, rendant la phrase performative. Tout cela dans un geste visuel temporel qui tient de la caresse souligné d’une improvisation au violon.

3. WOE

   According to the description of WOE in the New Media Reader, where it was republished on a CD inserted into the book, it was "a hypertext that was a radical departure for author Michael Joyce from his modernist hypertext classic afternoon: a story. "WOE" combines narrative material with metafictional passages, typographic experiments, notes to and about hypertext theorists, and even images; it creates a heterogeneous browsing experience of the sort familiar to today's Web readers (or fans of Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves)."
