Califia Reimagined

"Califia Reimagined" is a still-shot traversal of Luesebrink's "Califia," which was originally "published on CD-ROM by Eastgate Systems in 2000. It is a born-digital, interactive, multimedia hypertext fiction. It combines text, image, sound, animation, and structure to create a virtual world of time-space. This novel-length piece, authored in Toolbook, was one of the most extensive e-lit fiction works of its time. Because of software and hardware advances, 'Califia' was unplayable on any machine by 2010. Accordingly, 'Califia Revisited' was created to give scholars and curious readers some idea of what the original piece looked and sounded like." -- Marjorie Luesebrink
