A set of slides by Mark Bernstein featuring some animation that help
to explain his ideas about Card Shark and Thespis - hypertext systems
that he has implemented for creating hypertext narratives in novel
ways. The first of the 2 promotes sculptural hypertext, that is,
building a network of nodes by initially having a set of nodes all
connected to each other and then removing unwanted connections.
Thespis is a hypertext system that is built on top of the idea of Card
Shark by having many agents (actors) to participate in a single
hypertext story. Each actor receives cards that describe possible
actions, and each in turn selects an action to take.

To date, the best ... or only? ... instance of a Card Shark-like system seems to me to be the Failbetter Games. Thoughts?
