Hegirascope
Early web hypertext that combines links with text that automatically refreshes, sometimes faster than the reader can follow it.
Note: The New River published Hegirascope Version 2 in October 1997.
Author's description, from The New River:
WHAT IF THE WORD STILL WON'T BE STILL?
This is an extensive revision of a Web fiction originally released in 1995. The current text consists of about 175 pages traversed by more than 700 links. Most of these pages carry instructions that cause the browser to refresh the active window with a new page after 30 seconds. You can circumvent this by following a hypertext link, though in most cases this will just start a new half-minute timer on a fresh page.
The best way to encounter this work is simply to dive in, though some may prefer a more stable reference point. For these readers, there is an index to particularly interesting places in the text. You may want to go to that page and bookmark it.
The original "Hegirascope" was designed for Netscape Navigator 1.1 or Microsoft Internet Explorer 2.0. This version adds no new technical features and requires no plug-ins, Java, or JavaScript.

Notes Toward Absolute Zero
Notes Toward Absolute Zero interweaves historical documents of the ill-fated Franklin expedition with the personal reminiscences of a woman in search of her hypnotist uncle and of the the man who, in turn, searches for her. Follow Jericho, Magel, and Winter as their lives intersect and diverge across an eerie landscape dotted with relics, forgotten lists, train wrecks, scraps from journals, ghost ships, poetry, postage stamps, Mesmer's propositions, and -- of course -- The Six Failures of Love.

Frontières Vomies (Borders vometing)
Le roman "Frontières vomies" se déroule selon différentes orientations que le lecteur choisit en répondant aux sollicitations affichées sur l'écran. Quel que soit le choix fait, le récit se poursuit jusqu'à la fin. En fait, il navigue le long d'une tresse en empruntant l'un ou l'autre des brins, dans un sens ou dans l'autre. C'est lui qui décide : soit il va au plus vite vers la fin quitte à recommencer plus tard par d'autres voies, soit il flâne en cherchant à reconnaître chacune des voies possibles quitte à retomber de temps à autre dans certains passages uniques.

Mahasukha Halo
Mahasukha -- the Nepalese Buddhist concept of transendence through erotic experience.
Mahasukha Halo -- snapshots, pleas, and confessions from a future world of alien sex and alien gods, where humans do the dirty work and put on the dirty shows. Lost missionaries, sex addicts, hyacinth men, and post-millenium religious fanatics poulate these street scenes where sex and religion are polyvalent, and body parts proliferate. (Source: Eastgate)
Mahasukha Halo is a mysterious science fiction hypertext that reveals a disturbing picture of a futuristic world where people praises creatures from another planet. To satisfy these creatures, people have to do some disturbing things. The work has a console where users can navigate through the work, see links and save their reading progress.

El primer vuelo de los hermanos Wright
El proceso de creación hipertextual de esta obra se remonta hasta el año 1995, cuando me planteé el problema del hipertexto como posibilidad de creación literaria. Esta es una hipernovela experimental. Este proyecto se concluyó porque tengo la convicción profunda de que el medio electrónico representa el futuro de la literatura (Escrito por el autor, Juan B. Gutiérrez)
