Hypertext fiction was distributed on CDs to be used on computers. In Literature in a Wired World, our hypertext fiction is Shelley Jackson's Patchwork Girl. Currently we see hypertext all over the internet, commonly in wikis where mass information can be linked.

Interactive Fiction[]

Interactive fiction describes software simulating environments in which players use text commands to control characters and influence the environment. It presents itself as a form of electronic literature that is characterized by strong game elements and the presence of a parsor, an interactive environment and the interactor. Commonly seen as a text-based work or animation-based. A parsor is, as defined by Katherine Hayles, a computer program that understands and replies to the interactors inputs, while it is the interactor that is controlling a player character by issuing commands. The digital environment. provides a surrounding or a setting for the parsor and the interactor to interact and proceed through the fiction. An example of interactive fiction would be Emily Short's Savoir-Faire, which is an interactive problem solving fiction.
