Overview

Invisible Rendezvous is both a history and a manifesto. On behalf of a legion of unseen ""authors"," Rob Wittig describes the evolution of IN, S.OMNIA, an electronic bulletin board that first linked Seattle computer users in 1983 and soon spread into a nationwide network of invisible but creative collaborators.

Editorial Reviews

Invisible Rendezvous is an excellent and entertaining meditation on the connection between site-specific performance and cyberspace, recombinant culture and creative community, machination and identity, multiplicity and expression. It suggests that these are perhaps not as far apart as our apocalyptic impulses in the face of the new technology might suggest.
Library Journal
This work calls itself a manifesto for redefining literature via the ``net.'' It chronicles the development of INVISIBLE SEATTLE, an electronic bulletin board begun in the mid-Eighties in Seattle that, in turn, gave its name to a collaborative novel of electronically assembled random contributions from the citizenry. It is also a history of Seattle's cultural underground in the Eighties. Wittig's collaborators hoped that the anonymity and interactivity of the bulletin board would free users of their inhibitions, untapping their creativity; INVISIBLE SEATTLE, the culmination of this experiment, was published in 1987. The discussions about the network's impact on the form and future of literature are enthusiastic and sometimes clever, if a bit incoherent; Wittig's explanations on how bulletin boards work are general and a bit dated. The novel is heavily referenced; this title should be purchased as companion text to it. Together, this novel and history/manifesto could be a useful introduction to the net in creative writing courses or in public collections.-Robert C. Moore, DuPont Merck Pharmaceutical Co.
