How did I not know about this? I have read everything Mr. Adams has published (I believe). Played a couple of his games. Listened to his radio output. Watched _that_ movie. But I did not know about this.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
I'm actually getting a bit emotional here. Bonus is that I'm super interested in the evolution of text from codex to semantic web (and beyond?) so both the purveyor of the content and the content itself interest me. That Ted Nelson, I tells ya.
Totally unrelated. One thing that the web could have had was _typed_ links. A number of people have made this observation but not many. The idea is built into the assumptions that gave birth to hypertext but the idea was never implemented. See here, for instance: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/asi.22907/abstrac...
Oh. My. God.
