    The interview explores many aspects of the interactive narrative- one of them the extended capacity of a new digital medium applicable to express continually developing human consciousness through the use of new formats.

    In her emphasis on the positives of digital storytelling, Murray seems to disregard a potential lack of balance between author's and reader's visions. (reviewed 10/24/00)

    Several specific question were posed:
                                            - What does "nonlinear narrative" mean?
                                            - How is the novel superior interactive media?
                                            - Will future novelists also be computer programmers?
                                            - Will interactive stories dangerously blur the lines between
                                              fantasy and reality
                                            - Will the interactive medium ever get any respect?

    Janet H.Murray answers these questions through juxtaposing features of the new and traditional media, only to underline the fact that the value of work of art transcends the medium in which it is carried on.

    The interlocutors discuss the emergence of a new art form in the context of Murray's book Hamlet on the Holodeck.

    Murray suggests that, despite its perceivable flaws,  the "energetic practice" in cyberspace significantly contributes to the development of a new art form.
