HYPERTEXT & 100 DAYS PROJECT: Navigation
Just had an image of a giant screen full of map, where with a finger you can read the space as if picking out pages. Navigation based on visual concept of the story rather than textual links. Or is that no longer “hypertext?”
I’ve done images in spaces, but not considered the story map view as the total navigational force before, though of course it’s what I use and view as I’m writing. Interesting.

Aaaahhhhh! I’ll be forever tainted from this class. I read your post and thought, “Yes, but can we consider it literature”?! #$*(^&$ stupid philosophers.

Depending upon what’s there to read, maybe yes. The map would serve as an index only so that you would know where you’re going from one point to another. As hypertext literature is read now, you’re taking a chance on the author’s ability to guide you into your choices.
