Hypermedia/Electronic Literature

 * "Califia", Eastgate Systems,  6.2000. Bakioglu states: "Califia is a hyperfiction that recounts the story of the hunt for the treasure of California. . . Designed to be a virtual treasure map, Califia invites the reader to discover the lost cache of California through her wanderings within the story space. . .the reader is able to establish curious links between available information and create a unified sense of the disjointed documents, thereby resulting in the construction of the narrative that foregrounds spatiality as the determining factor in how the story develops."


 * "Fibonacci's Daughter" 2000. (ELO showcase). The very indeterminacy of both Coverley's narrat1ve and her plot make Fibonacci's Daughter a rich experience, a series of possibilities that cannot be exhausted--even by carefully visiting the hypertext's every link and node--not to mention an excellent representative of the possibilities of Web-based hypertext fiction.


 * "Book of Going Forth by Day" Kate Hayles says "The layers are instrumental in creating a visual/verbal/sonic narrative in which the deep past and the present, modern skepticism and ancient rituals, hieroglyphs and electronic writing merge and blend with one another.
