Literary/Speculative Hypertext Published

My Debut Hypertext

After working on the three narrative threads of this piece off and on for many years, this summer I decided to push aside some of the books on my summer reading list (SO FUCKING HARD) and create, produce, and develop Dukkha, My Love, my multimodal, non-linear, permutational, experimental, character-based electronic novella/literary hypertext.  In fact, all of the text, artwork, and even music I wrote myself, some of which came from my electronic LP Space Age, some of which is newer material I wrote in the past year or so.  There are even some videos in this piece, courtesy of NASA and the Discovery Channel, though even then, I edited and revised them and then set my own music to them.  Imagine smashing speculative fiction, literary fiction, romance, and apocalyptic fiction into a hybrid, multimedia work, and you have a basic idea of what Dukkha, My Love is.
