I actually owned a copy of that when I was a kid. Never finished it, though. Found it irritating, as I kept waiting for there to be something for me to do other than wander around to different computers until I found the right one that would tell me the next bit of the story. Seemed like it took the worst aspects of both print and computer storytelling and wove them together into a sum less than its parts; You had to wander around and wait to get more story, but you also didn't get to affect the story. It was like the missing useless member of the novel/Infocom/Choose-Your-Own-Adventure set.

Now, again, I never finished it, so maybe my assumptions were wrong, but I have the feeling that they're not. In other ways, it's kind of an immediate predecessor to hypertext, but, then, almost no one does anything literary with hypertext these days, and few ever did.
