Where the Senses Become a Stage and Reading is Direction: Performing the Texts of Virtual Reality and Interactive Fiction

Each reading of a hypertext is a single performance of the text, not an act of simply filling in the emotions or shading in a little angst here and there, but of creating meaningful sequences and coherent narratives.

"I wanted to write a book that would change every time you read it." (Michael Joyce, personal conversation)
