I feel as though this article is culturally significant. It is a new artform that is already attracting worldwide interest. Please refer to the following links: http://books.guardian.co.uk/news/articles/0,,2005636,00.html http://www.business-standard.com/common/storypage.php?leftnm=lmnu4&subLeft=6&autono=274489&tab=r http://www.stuff.co.nz/3950791a28.html

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)[reply]
