Network writing is simply writing that is created for the internet. What is so cool about this is that the internet is changing and constantly evolving, so this form of electronic literature is as well. Network writing is also very often interactive in a way blurring the lines between author and reader. Network writing thrives in its ability to be interactive in a way that a book could never be. Network writing is also a haven of collaboration for everyone. Being able to mix artists and writers and other creatives is something network writing is able to do perfectly. Network writing was a huge shift in the way we are able to create and understand different media for literature. 

I really enjoyed Flight Paths. I enjoyed that all of the mini stories went together and I enjoyed that it was kind of unnerving. At first I thought it was going to be mostly a political statement about the labour in Dubai. But I like that it took a weirder route with the Dark Mass and Yacub living in the pantry. The fourth one "Dark Mass" was my favorite because I enjoyed the two separate conversations that were happening. I liked how the Dark Mass had a different font and how a black screen closed down on the. blue sky. The sound in all of them was also wonderful. It added a lot to the story and you definitely need the sound on to understand the story fully. The format was also really cool having to click to get through the story. I am a big fan of when there is a lot of words so this one was perfect for me.
