Agent Ruby
In 2001–2 San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) commissioned the web project Agent Ruby (agentruby.sfmoma.org/) by San Francisco artist Lynn Hershman Leeson for its pioneering online platform e.space. Originally conceived in 1999 as a mobile application for the Palm Pilot, the project was part of Hershman's research for her 2002 film "Teknolust." In 2013, SFMOMA curated an exhibit dedicated to the history of the project entitled "Lynn Hershman Leeson: The Agent Ruby Files."

Califia Reimagined
Califia was published on CD-ROM by Eastgate Systems in 2000. It is a born-digital, interactive, multimedia hypertext fiction. It combines text, image, sound, animation, and structure to create a virtual world of time-space. This novel-length piece, authored in Toolbook, was one of the most extensive e-lit fiction works of its time. Because of software and hardware advances, Califia was unplayable on any machine by 2010. Accordingly, Califia Revisited was created to give scholars and curious readers some idea of what the original piece looked and sounded like.
Author's Statement:
Califia Reimagined is a still-shot traversal that I created for the ELO Paris Conference (2013). It uses material from selected episodes of Califia- extracting small glimpses of the original work for contemporary reading devices. Similarly, for the video summary, I made a quick take from the Califia Reimagined website.

Tin Towns and Other Excel Fictions
Tin Towns and Other Excel Fictions is an ongoing, open-ended collection of short fiction experiments that explore the obscurities and unintended consequences of human technology over the centuries. The genesis was an investigation into some of the causes of the end of the Bronze Age, including the shortage of tin. Critical developments in metals, nuclear energy, farming practices, and biological warfare are just some of the topics included in these works.

Author's statement:
We normally think of fiction narratives as represented in linear text. Yet, electronic literature works – the born digital varieties - have been created with and contained in a range of innovative and often non-linear applications.

Tarim Tapestry
Tarim Tapestry is a collection of short fiction works inspired by the ancient history and folklore of the Taklamakan Desert in central Asia. It includes The Beauty of Loulan, The Witches of Subeshi, Tocharian Love Song, The Myth of Lop Nor, and Tales of the Silk Road.
From the Electronic Literature Directory:
In the remote Tarim basin, near the Peacock River, 4000 years ago, lived a woman who has come to be named The Beauty of Loulan. When she was buried, she wore a middy skirt, fur boots, a woven woolen cloak decorated with long loops, and a felt and wool hood topped with a decorative feather. Beside her was a basket containing grains of wheat – a winnowing tray covered her.
This well-preserved mummy is part of a series of mummies discovered in the far western desert in present-day China (Xinjiang), which date from 2000 BCE to 200 CE.

M is for Nottingham?
M is for Nottingham? was an experimental project launched for the tRace Incubation 2 Conference in Nottingham, UK in 2002. It combined an online collaborative writing project and a live drama that enacted the “mystery” that the contributors wrote at the conference. All attendees were invited to join in the collaborative writing of the mystery story M is for Nottingham?. Each participant could choose a character from the list of historic Nottingham personages (including Nat Turner and The White Lady). Then the characters set about writing the story of the dead corpse (or corpus) – was the Book Dead? And, if so, who was the murderer?
The writing was carried on for three months before the conference. At the conferencethe participants “played” the character they had created on stage for the entire conference attendees. It has not been possible to preserve the chat function that accommodated the writing process, but the exte3nsive website, which also provided an introduction to Nottingham history and culture, is available except for the Flash portions.

Sister Stories
Sister Stories "explores ways to be women and men. Building from the mythological story of Coyolxauhqui, sister to Huitzilopochtli, and using postmodern apposition, they reconsider the nature of telling and of reading, of being inside and outside a story, a place, a field, a history, a text."

Genetis: A Rhizography
"Genetis: A Rhizography," is a hypertext story written in Storyspace. The reader has to explore serveral chapters; Myth, Parable, Allegory, Legend and Theory and try to make connection between these chapters. The work is heavily focused on trauma and finding knowledge. This is also encouraged by the fact that the work is non-sequential, where different parts of the text is scattered, but still fits together and the goal is to find these connections and meanings yourself rather then them being explained directly.
