Specials on Michael Joyce's works, from Eastgate Systems Inc., a publisher of hypertexts.

Michael Joyce is perhaps best known as the originator of an art form. The New York Times called his afternoon "the granddaddy of hypertext fictions," while The Toronto Globe and Mail said that it "is to the hypertext...interactive novel what the Gutenberg bible is to publishing," and Der TAZ  has called him "Der Homer der Hypertexte..." His hyperfictions, Twilight, A Symphony , on CD ROM, and Twelve Blue , on the world wide web, were both published in 1996 by Eastgate. His shorter hyperfictions include WOE and Lucy's Sister and the most recent "On the birthday of the stranger..." published on the web by the Evergreen Review. A linear novel, Going the Distance, is published on the web by Pilgrim Press. His new collection of essays, Othermindedness: the emergence of network culture, was published in December, 1999 by the University of Michigan Press which also published his essays on hypertext theory and pedagogy, Of Two Minds: Hypertext Pedagogy and Poetics (1995). He serves on the editorial boards for Post Modern Culture, Works & Days, as well as the Computers and Composition journal. He is currently Associate Professor of English and Director of the Center for Electronic Learning and Teaching at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NY.
