Bly's Readers' Traversals & Interviews

These traversals and interviews of readers Matthew Kirschenbaum and Margo Padilla, conducted by Dene Grigar and Stuart Moulthrop, took place on Friday, January 31, 2014 at the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH) at the University of Maryland as part of the Pathfinders project. We Descend, a hypertext novel authored by Bill Bly, focuses on the metaphor of an "archaeological dig." The story takes us through four timelines (five, if you count the timeline the reader represents), beginning with a future post-apocalyptic storyline of Egderus who digs down through eons of data to reconstruct cultural history, encountering, along the way, writings by an ancient who calls himself the Last One. These recordings are divided into six parts and focus on the historical and cultural experience of reading the work.
