Overview
Advanced computer technology for storing and retrieving information - and the electronic "hypertext" of words and images it makes possible - is changing both the experience of reading and, according to some scholars, the very nature of what is read. In Hypertext Goerge Landow explores what is at once a radically new information technology, a revolutionary mode of publicaiton, and a highly interactive form of electronic text. It is also a strikingly literal embodiment of some major points of contemporary literary and semiological theory - particularly Derrida's idea of "de-century" and Barthe's conception for the "readerly" versus the "writerly" text.Editorials

Throughout, the experience of hypnosis is placed within a social psychological context. Contains 61 pages of references. Landow (English and art history, Brown U.) contends that hypertext--computer technology that allows the reader to move in any of several directions from any point in a text--embodies some major points of contemporary literary and semiological theory, particularly Derrida's text.
