Each
death is as different as people are different. Each is a story to be told.
Inspired
by the black box flight recorders of crashed planes, the first version
of 100 black boxes
was a hypertext fiction constructed from 100 words each by 100 characters
about the moment of their deaths. Publication began in autumn of 1999.
In summer 2004, it was republished as a blog.
It's also available for syndication/feed at http://100blackboxes.blogspot.com/atom.xml
100
black boxes was written for the WWW by Alistair
Gentry. Over the two-year active period of the site (1999-2001), every
box became black with use (i.e. was read at least 100 times). Some boxes
cycled from white to black numerous times. See
a graphic of site usage for the active period of the site.
