3. Electronic Fiction in the 21st Century

   In the 21st Century, readers will turn on and interact with
   literature that is displayed on affordable, book-sized computers.
   Electronic fiction forms will include "narrabases" (nonsequential novels
   that rely on large computer databases); "narrative data structures" that
   elegantly organize fictional information on eye-pleasing computer
   screens; complex narrative investigations based on the adventure story
   model developed in computer games; and stories told collaboratively by
   groups of writers in online communities. Computers may even store their
   own observations and use them to tell their own stories in their own 
   words.

   Author's Note: At the time of the writing of this classic paper I was excited
   by the possibilities that hyperfiction offered for a new literature. I still am.
   However, I now see print literature and e-literature more as parallel art forms
   where ideally writers in each medium understand each other's vision and, 
   as between poetry and fiction, sometimes move with ease between the two mediums (Source: paper as published on web)

5. The text and cultural politics

   The school curriculum is not neutral knowledge. Rather, what counts as legitimate knowledge is the result of complex power relations, struggles, and compromises among identifiable class, race, gender, and religious groups. A good deal of conceptual and empirical progress has been made in the last 2 decades in answering the question of whose knowledge becomes socially legitimate in schools. Yet, little attention has actually been paid to that one arti-fact that plays such a major role in defining whose culture is taught–the textbook. In this article, I discuss ways of approaching texts as embodiments of a larger process of cultural politics. Analyses of them must focus on the complex power relationships involved in their production, contexts, use, and reading. I caution us against employing overly reductive kinds of perspectives and point to the importance of newer forms of textual analysis that stress the politics of how students actually create meanings around texts. Finally, I point to some of the implications of all this for our discussions of curriculum policy.

7. "What hypertexts can do that print narratives cannot"

   'In this article, the author situates hypertext fiction readers in a binary relationship with their print counterparts. The hypertext reader is compared to the print reader in terms of the choices each medium allows.'

10. Virtual Reality

    Imagine being able to "walk" into your computer and interact with any program you create. It sounds like science fiction, but it's science fact. Surgeons now rehearse operations on computer-generated "virtual" patients, and architects "walk through" virtual buildings while the actual structures are still in blueprints. In Virtual Reality, Howard Rheingold takes us to the front lines of this revolutionary new technology that creates computer-generated worlds complete with the sensations of touch and motion, and explores its impact on everything from entertainment to particle physics.
