I more or less live on the Internet, so I’m actually a little surprised that I haven’t heard about Sahara in the Beginning. I searched around a bit, but it looks like her domains expired, which is a bit of a shame, because I’m quite curious about it now.

But I am really quite interested in the idea of hypertext narrative. I kind of see them as choose your own adventures, but more complex.

Hypertext, which challenges narrative and all literary form based on linearity, calls into question ideas of plot and story current since Aristotle.

If that’s the case, I wonder why hypertext fiction isn’t more popular than it is. I’ve seen some very creative, postmodern fiction that plays around with form and plot, but hypertext fiction is something else. Hypertextual story space is now “theoretically infinite”, which is pretty cool. It truly is death of the author.
