“Hypertext literature is a wonderful subject for discourse, theory, and intellectual hobnobbing; but in the final analysis, there’s really not that much to it. Insofar as hypertext binds the Web together, it’s wonderful. Insofar as hypertext allows multimedia Web art to function, it’s great glue. Insofar as hypertext comprises a new literary genre, it’s about as riveting as those “write your own story” books that came out when I was a kid. – *spark-online
