Flight Paths

A Networked Novel by Kate Pullinger and Chris Joseph

‘Flight Paths’ seeks to explore what happens when lives collide – an airplane stowaway and the fictional suburban London housewife. The initial goal of this project is to create a work of digital fiction, a ‘networked book’, created on and through the internet. The first stage of the project will include a web iteration with, at its heart, a blog, opening up the research process to the outside world, inviting discussion of the large array of issues the project touches on.
