Invisible Rendeazvous: Connection & Collaboration In The New Landscape Of Electronic Writing

Recently read: Invisible Rendeavous: Connection & Collaboration In The New Landscape Of Electronic Writing by Rob Wittig.

I got to meet Wittig a few years back and ordered this book the next morning. Of course, as is always the case, I didn’t actually read it until a significant time later.

Invisible Rendezvous chronicles the work, both offline and on, of Invisible Seattle in the eighties. Inspired by the Calvino novel they took their name from, Invisible Seattle created a novel about Seattle which was created by the inhabitants of the city. What a cool mass collaboration project years before the Internet. People looking for a document of what electronic collaboration before the World Wide Web (do kids today even know what a BBS is? Newsgroups?) this is an essential book to have.
