Genetis: A Rhizography

About Genetis: A Rhizography, Eastgate Systems, Inc. provides the following description: 

"In the style of what Gregory Ulmer calls the mystory, Richard Smyth uses the genre-defying capabilities of hypertext to present a case for the power of writing in desperate circumstances. After the narrator's mental meltdown on his honeymoon, he learns that only writing has the power to salvage his sanity and his life.

As he writes, things become stranger still. Voices come to him. He writes allegories, myths, parables, legends, and 'Gut Meditations,' and links them together with the dream-logic of association. Eerie connections and obsessive themes emerge.

YOU CAN STAY HERE IN THIS JUNKYWARD BUT DON'T OPEN THE QUANTUMS, DON'T NEURALNET THE INMORFATION, AND DON'T GET LOST ON THE MEMORYPATHS.

If this sounds like too much for you, go read a book."
