29 May 2013

The recent short story Twitter API returning results that do not respect arrow of time by Tim May written as a Twitter bug report reminded me of a few other short sci-fi stories written in the style of some sort of Internet document:

comp.basalisk FAQ by David Langford written as a FAQ.
Wikihistory by Desmond Warzel presented as a forum thread.
The Riddle of the Universe and Its Solution by Christopher Cherian written as a scientific report.
