I have to say that my experience with Hegirascope was confusing.\u00a0 The only comparison I could come up with was reading anything by Kurt Vonnegut or Douglas Adams’s Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series.\u00a0 My brain is not wired to process things that don’t seem to connect to one another directly.<\/p>\n
The parts of Hegirascope that I explored seemed to all contain snippets of either a scene from a story or a newspaper article.\u00a0 None of the links that I pressed seemed to correspond with the text it leads to in Hegirascope.\u00a0 I think that may have something to do with the confusion I felt while experiencing Hegirascope.\u00a0 Expecting one thing and getting something else.<\/p>\n
I did use the back button – a lot!\u00a0 I am no speed reader, so 30 seconds was just not enough time for me to parse what was written on the page, much less make a choice on where to go next.\u00a0 I did like the “choose your own adventure” aspect of Hegirascope.\u00a0 It brought back memories of that kind of book I used to read when I was younger.<\/p>\n
