Download or read book Playing the Text, Performing the Future written by Felicitas Meifert-Menhard and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2013-10-14 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the structure of text-based Future Narratives in the widest sense, including choose-your-own-adventure books, forking-path novels, combinatorial literature, hypertexts, interactive fiction, and alternate reality games. How 'radical' can printed Future Narratives really be, given the constraints of their media? When exactly do they not only play with the mere idea of multiple continuations, but actually stage genuine openness and potentiality? Process- rather than product-oriented, text-based Future Narratives are seen as performative and contingent systems, simulating their own emergence.
