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.

While still packaging the work in the vinyl folio and using the same design as the 1990 Edition, the publisher shifted to a gray cover with blue ink. The logo design features the yoni, the Hindu symbol of the womb. The symbol is also used for the launcher icon, thus further emphasizing the novel's exploration of women and men's relationship (Grigar, "Ten Things," 4 May 2016).
It is important to mention that the folio resembles a slim volume of a book that can be placed on a shelf and, so, served as a breadcrumb for readers taking them from "the late age of print" (Bolter, Writing Space, 2) to the new digital age. The vinyl editions of early pre-Web hypertexts published by Eastgate Systems, Inc. were also color-coded so that even though the folios did not have the title of the work printed in their spines, readers familiar with the works' packaging could sometimes distinguish one work from another.
