Join leading hypertext writers, editors, and designers in charting the frontiers of hypermedia, exploring how hypertext will redefine and extend serious writing while preserving the essential values of literacy. Whether you read, write, or publish hypertext, or if you simply want to learn more about hypertext and the future of interactive media, this workshop will provide you with thoughtful, up-to-date and practical information, as well as plenty of food for thought (not to mention lunch). And in keeping with the hands-on spirit of the technology, we'll provide you with a selection of fine hypertexts. We do not believe the future of electronic publishing lies in games and product tie-ins. Come help us redefine the book!
