This looks interesting.
Penguin books is working with 6 authors to tell 6 stories in 6 weeks. The first one, The 21 Steps [by Charles Cumming], is told via embedded Google Maps. Wow. What a great method of delivering stories, especially this one that follows a man around town (inspired by the classic thriller The 39 Steps).
Cory Doctorow recently posted a link to “Wikihistory,” a short story by Desmond Warzel. The story consists of the forum transcript for a time-traveler’s group, where the rules of time travel are enforced with Wikipedia-like rules.

Take it easy on the kid, SilverFox316; everybody kills Hitler on their first trip. I did. It always gets fixed within a few minutes, what's the harm?
Very funny.
