Olaf Stapledon said it best when he wrote:
"Did not our life issue daily as more or less firm threads of active living, and mesh itself into the growing web, the intricate, ever-proliferating pattern of mankind?"

And with that, Fantasy and Science Fiction lovers at the University of Michigan and all over the world enter the next growing web of mankind - the World Wide Web!

These pages are the result of a collaboration among several people over many years. Therefore we have compiled a list of credits.
