A new hypertext book is a rabbit hole of an experience. “253” is a story of the 253 passengers (and the drive) on a train. But every sentence is filled with hypertext leading to details and subplots and descriptions of the other people on the train. No two readers are likely to read it the same way. “It’s far more work than writing an ordinary story,” says the author. In a traditional book, the author does not have to create everything around a character, everything they see. In hypertext, it’s all there: The writer has “to create interesting material that may never be read by anybody, ever.” – The Globe and Mail (Canada)
