eLiterature.org is a directory of electronic literature. Nothing great so far, but maybe, some day…

On 24th August I said “Life in the 21st century doesn’t look promising”. A Force More Powerful would make me eat those words. It’s a collection of stories about non-violent conflict in the 20th century, and it appears to work more effectively than most wars.
