I Have Said Nothing

"Bracketed by two fatal car accidents, 'I Have Said Nothing' is a meditation on the enormity that divides us from others. Douglas explores the interaction between the fragmentation inevitable in hypertext and the causality necessary for the creation of story; she says, 'I had a vague ... conviction that causality is the root of all narratives: like E. M. Forster in Aspects of the Novel, I believed that you could rip everything else to shreds as long as you kept something that resembled cause and effect pumping away beneath the surface, you could keep just about any amorphous blob going.' The result is a tough, hard-edged, look at how we fragment ourselves to avoid pain, to avoid the inevitable -- death." -- Eastgate Systems, Inc.
