"As I sit here writing a work on hypertext and hypertextuality that will eventually result in an old-fashioned form, a book, I feel continually frustrated, because having gathered and typed in hundreds of passages from a range of critics and writers on computer hypertext, I long for a hypertextual mode, such as I use in my classroom. I long to produce a book, not by conventional argument, but by creating brief essays, almost abstracts, on the six or seven main points of convergence between these two attitudes toward textuality and then linking nested arrangements of the original texts."
