Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

This Is How You Will Die is quite structurally similar to other works created by Jason Nelson , specially during this time period. Similar works of e-literature by him include Clippings and Nine Attempts to Clone A Poem. Clippings , created in 2006, consists of multiple layers of randomly spread out text boxes which attempt to explore the idea that they can come together to tell a coherent story. Similarly, in Nine Attempts to Clone a Poem, Nelson manipulates his poetry in a multitude of ways so as to create a variety of poems which he expects the reader to interpret. While it would appear that he has taken down this specific piece , there are various mentions of it on many e-literature websites . Therefore, Nelson , at least in these three pieces of e-literature, heavily relies on the power of randomness and combination to lead to coherence and a storyline.
