Implementation est un roman dont les extraits sont insérés au sein de photos prises dans plusieurs endroits du globe par des collaborateurs. Les photos sont retournées aux auteurs et mises sur le site. Le lecteur clique sur les endroits ou les dates d'envoi des photos pour lire les extraits. L'idée est originale, même si la disposition des textes rend parfois difficile leur lecture.

Citation(s)

Implementation is a novel about psychological warfare, American imperialism, sex, terror, identity, and the idea of place, a project that borrows from the traditions of net art, mail art, sticker art, conceptual art, situationist theater, serial fiction, and guerilla viral marketing. The text was written collaboratively by Nick Montfort and Scott Rettberg with some contributions from other artists. Its initial incarnation was as a serial novel printed on sheets of stickers that were distributed in monthly installments.
