Hyperizons
|
|
Description:
Hypertext
fiction
(aka hyperfiction,
interactive
fiction,
nonlinear
fiction)
is a new
art form
that while
not necessarily
made possible
by the
computer
was certainly
made feasible
by it.
Its creators
make use
of hypertext--of
which
the Web
is only
one widespread
albeit
limited
incarnation--to
create
fiction
with many
features
uncharacteristic
of print
fiction:
multiple
paths
through
the same
text;
multiple
endings
(and beginnings);
questions
posed
to the
reader
which,
once answered,
influence
what the
reader
will read;
audiovisual
attachments;
navigable
maps;
and so
on and
so on.
Readers
seeking
more extensive
definitions
of hypertext
fiction
are invited
to browse
through
the Theory
and Criticism
section
or, better
yet, simply
start
reading
a few
works--artists
always
outstrip
their
would-be
definers.
