Hypertextopia was a axial hypertext composition site that he coded and launched while a senior (undertaking an independent, self-designed major or concentration on 'Literary Systems') at Brown University the 2007/08 academic year. It was widely used, notably by Polish researcher/teacher/practitioners of hypertext, and was noticed and discussed on the if:book website. Jeremy is now, I believe, working for Document Cloud an initiative that may well be part of what we might imagine as a move to make serious new tools for curating and gaining access to information that is not simply froth of the vast breaking cosmetics wave, rolled in whose crest we all now struggle to breath.

One of the problems I have had with my first project has been some real haphazard organization. Twine looks like a tool that will help me to plot and map things out much more precisely.

Although I personally prefer the chaos and flittering scatter of layered multimedia.......this is a really nice way to create an complex hypertext.....or at least get "interested or forced to be interested" students to play, without the long learning curve of flash or script.
