- Agrippa (A Book of the Dead) is a work of art created by science fiction novelist William Gibson, artist Dennis Ashbaugh and publisher Kevin Begos Jr. in 1992. The work consists of a 300-line semi-autobiographical electronic poem by Gibson, embedded in an artist's book by Ashbaugh. Gibson's text focused on the ethereal, human-owed nature of memories retained over the passage of time (the title referred to a Kodak photo album from which the text's memories are taken). Its principal notoriety arose from the fact that the poem, stored on a 3.5" floppy disk, was programmed to encrypt itself after a single use; similarly, the pages of the artist's book were treated with photosensitive chemicals, effecting the gradual fading of the words and images from the book's first exposure to light.

- Agrippa (A Book of the Dead) adalah buku puisi elektronik karangan William Gibson dan seniman Dennis Ashbaugh yang dipublikasikan dalam format perangkat lunak di dalam sebuah disket. Isi buku tersebut merupakan semi-autobiografi dari Gibson. Buku tersebut bertemakan cyberpunk, yaitu sebuah subgenre fiksi ilmiah yang menggambarkan keadaan distopia (menakutkan) disertai dengan pemanfaatan teknologi tinggi. Buku puisi elektronik tersebut disimpan di dalam disket berukuran 3½-inch, saat dijalankan, teks dari puisi-puisi di dalamnya akan bergulir ke atas layar. Selagi puisi-puisi tersebut bergulir, terdapat beberapa efek suara seperti suara rana kamera dan senjata. Enkripsi buku tersebut dilengkapi dengan virus yang diprogram oleh sekelompok peretas anonim, sehingga setelah tidak memungkinkan bagi pengguna untuk membaca ulang buku tersebut setelah satu kali dibaca. Virus yang ada membuat buku tersebut tidak bisa dijalankan di sembarang komputer, hanya komputer seperti Mac dengan sistem operasi 'Sistem 7' dapat menjalankannya. (in)

- Agrippa comes in a rough-hewn black box adorned with a blinking green light and an LCD readout that flickers with an endless stream of decoded DNA. The top opens like a laptop computer, revealing a hologram of a circuit board. Inside is a battered volume, the pages of which are antique rag-paper, bound and singed by hand. (en)

- Agrippa owes its transmission and continuing availability to a complex network of individuals, communities, ideologies, markets, technologies, and motives. Only in the most heroic reading of the events … is Agrippa saved for posterity solely by virtue of the knight Templar. … Today, the 404 File Not Found messages that Web browsing readers of Agrippa inevitably encounter … are more than just false leads; they are latent affirmations of the work's original act of erasure that allow the text to stage anew all of its essential points about artifacts, memory, and technology. "Because the struggle for the text is the text." (en)
- It starts around 1919 and moves up to today, or possibly beyond. If it works, it makes the reader uncomfortably aware of how much we tend to accept the contemporary media version of the past. You can see it in Westerns, the way the 'mise-en-scene' and the collars on cowboys change through time. It's never really the past; it's always a version of your own time. (en)
- OK, sit down and pay attention. We're only going to say this once. (en)
