They had draped the forest with sensors and microphones, nestled snipers not far from the cabin, even summoned satellites to keep watch for a man practicing blowing things up. When they raided the mountain cabin last week, ending the longest, most expensive hunt for a serial killer in U.S. history, the agents finally got to look into the shaggy face of a man they had imagined and profiled and tracked like a grizzly for the past 18 years...

That was the date that The Spot, the first serial drama designed specifically for the Internet, made its debut. But the Net's first narrative-driven vehicle did not venture into the mysteries of science fiction. Nor did it relate any apocalyptic fantasies about virtual militiamen.
