http://www.greatamericannovel.com/One internet phenomenon I got into recently are Digital Epistolary Novels. These are stories told through a series of documents like e-mails, instant messages and other electronic communications.
On this website, you will be able to download and read Intimacies by Eric Brown, who is a former English professor and computer geek.
There is nothing to install. Just click the executable file to launch the book and you will be presented with a somewhat familiar-looking interface through which you access these fictitious communications.
It feels a bit voyeuristic reading someone else's e-mails in such a blatant way, but it is a really interesting way to unfold a story, despite the somewhat simple look of the interface.
The character development in this novel really works for me and I can hardly wait to see what happens next.
