Tangentially related, but if you haven't read 17776: What Football Will Look Like in the Future, it's an excellent example of using hypermedia to tell a story (and isn't really about football): https://www.sbnation.com/a/17776-football
Jon Bois is a genius, and this is the main example I return to when tempted to think that hypermedia is just a gimmick. It takes a special type of creativity to not just make it feel "tacked on." Perhaps the light jazz and dated look of the google maps visuals just meld well with the nostalgia evoked by the content of the story. The text alone would probably work as a good scifi short, but the additional material makes it so much more dramatic.
I'd really like to read this, but for some reason the font size keeps increasing, which eventually crashes the page. It happens on Firefox and Chromium, on Linux and Android. Strange.
Has there been any word on the third part of the series? 20020 came out then allegedly 20021 was coming out "soon", but didn't seem to ever materialize.
