Reviews
The theoretical chapters are among the best and most illuminating treatments of the nature of hypertext or networked fictions. One can hear, at last, the other shoe drop as Ciccoricco describes the evolution of hypertexts from axial (critical, encyclopedic) to arborescent (multiple path narratives) to the interconnected network. Ciccoricco's topography is also notable for his attention to electronic texts originating from outside North America--so it really is a world literature. Networked fictions have arrived, and Ciccoricco's book is the ideal guide through the labyrinth. --Joseph Conte, author of Design Debris: A Chaotics of Postmodern American Fiction
