Grammatron: filling the gap?

INTRODUCTION The aesthetically open and fragmented character of modern and postmodern texts which is based on the technically prescribed linearity of the medium of the book, turns out to be trivial in hypertext as it is the material nature of this new medium. The resulting gap has to be filled in new ways. Some of these new possibilities can be shown in hypertext literature. I have chosen Mark Amerika’s Grammatron, because he develops a kind of reader instruction for the new functions of narrativity.
