  1. 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.
