I feel as though this article is culturally significant. It is a new artform that is already attracting worldwide interest.

[edit] Notes for future expansion

New scientist blog entry here: [1]. Has links to interesting viewpoints:

  • Bruce Mason (a researcher at de montfort university) describes the experience of reading the novel as "dreamlike".
  • Ben Vershbow (Institute for the Future of the Book, frequent contributor to Publisher's Weekly), suggests "the concept of a "wiki-novel" is an oxymoron" and that "here [the wiki concept] is misapplied."

Interesting contrasting views, slightly tainted by the fact that the first is involved in the project. JulesH 16:13, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
