"In the past few years, maybe just 2, I’ve seen a surge in creative
activity around hypertext and hypertextual narratives that I had long
given up hope on. New works, new software platforms, new literacies
seem to be bursting from every corner. The IF community, long working
in a kind of subterranean artspace, has fueled many of these
developments, but they are not alone.
To offer a few examples: Look at Erik Loyer’s recent collaboration on the interactive graphic novel Upgrade Soul
collaboration with Ezra Claytan Daniels and Alexis Gideon. Look at the
return of hypertext pioneer Judy Malloy with her new work “From Ireland with Letters.” Look at Mez Breeze and Andy Campbell’s collaboration “The Dead Tower.”"
