(I’m a little on the fence about what I think about hyperlinks. I think they’re annoying if overused and in this case it’s probably not strictly necessary, but it did occur to me that, frustrating as they were, the massive hyperlink chain that I fell into was important to plunging me into the site)

Orson Scott Card actually wrote quite a fun story that basically predicted the wikipedia effect in 1989. And it inspired his character to make a major scientific breakthrough, so hey, maybe he was right about that too. Hyperlink away, I say!
