Although there is little overt chemistry here, the (free) issue of JODI has some interesting (and occasionally impenetrable) visions of how Hypertext will/should evolve ======================== Future Visions of Common-Use Hypertext

From the special issue editorial: "This special issue arises out of a panel held during the ACM Hypertext '03 conference. Panellists were invited to sell their vision as 'the next big thing' in hypertext, either to supplement, augment or supplant 'modern day' systems, which, let's face it, is the Web, and to consider new ways to embed their research in contexts and situations that are accessible to the majority". http://jodi.ecs.soton.ac.uk/Articles/v05/i01/editorial
