“Properties of Light” is a true hyper-novel composed of chapters related not by chronological sequence, but certain keywords, “visual rhymes”, concepts, or resonances.

Oddly, it was written in 1990, before hypertext made this sort of presentation possible: in effect a book that waited over a decade to become possible.
