New idea: Blook - hackoff.com

Tom Evslin (has a blog - Fractals of Change) has released a 'blook' - a book being serialised online as a blog. It can be read at http://www.hackoff.com/blook/.

Intersting idea, and already has a wikipedia entry. Not sure what to think yet so recording the notes here for future reference...

Worth a read is Tom's blog entry on the first 48 hours after launch: Blook Beta Blur. I love the following comment:

The real world is interacting with the fictional world which is emulating the real world.

I remember seeing a quote, "The Internet is a mirror on society." Tom's comment makes it feel like we are in a room full of mirrors...
