Hyperland

I came across this gem while researching Hypertext for my paper... a naive, hilarious and wonderful view of Interactive Media circa 1990. Leave it to Douglas Adams to get it so wrong, yet so right.

If it's all getting little too linear for you, try skipping around... I guarantee you'll encounter some classic out-of-context BBC action.

I did, indeed, find it too linear, so I randomly skipped ahead to - egads! Scott Fisher's disembodied hand!

The "future" sequence that starts at the 46 minute mark is fantastic. Because the future is filled with randomly rotating 3D models careening down hallways for no discernible reason, obviously.
