Figurski at Findhorn on Acid by Richard Holeton

As a combinatorial fiction structured around all the possible arrangements of three characters, three places, and three artifacts, Figurski at Findhorn on Acid is built for fun and exploration. It’s been described as game-like, as “funny, crazy, ultra-postmodern satire” (Mariusz Pisarski) and as riding “a thin edge between the most complex recent critical ideas and the most absurd TV game shows” (Michael Tratner). Originally published by Eastgate Systems on the Storyspace platform in 2001, the novel was technically and functionally reimagined for the web in 2021 in partnership with Washington State University’s Electronic Literature Lab (ELL), under the direction of Dr. Dene Grigar.
