The first time I clapped eyes on a hypertext, I immediately thought of Roland Barthes' essay, "The Death of the Author." In the age of interactive fiction, the author is not simply dead, I decided; s/he's been quicklimed.

Although hypertext has been in existence since the Sixties, only within the past year or so has it emerged as a viable entity for the average microcomputer user.
