Feels like a watershed moment for the new form of the "interactive essay". I am very excited by the work being done in this area. Here are some highlights:
The undisputed queen of the interactive essay is Nicky Case. The work she's been doing in this area, to explore its potential and share her knowledge and enthusiasm about it, are legendary. ncase.me
Kevin Simler's "Going Critical" is an excellent new addition to the form: meltingasphalt.com/interactive/go…
Michael Nielsen and Andy Matuschak recently created the brilliant "Quantum Computing for the Very Curious" which is enhanced by the memory-creating power of spaced repetition quantum.country/qcvc
Also, Andy's essay "Why Books Don't Work" is a great manifesto for the whole movement andymatuschak.org/books/
Here's an oldie but goodie - Bret Victor's "Up and Down the Ladder of Abstraction", which I think is the closest thing games have to an "Understanding Comics" worrydream.com/LadderOfAbstra…
Finally, the Explorable Explanations hub that Nicky maintains is a great source for more examples: explorabl.es
