Hyperfiction Forum Part 1

This document is an example of an online class forum discussion about hyperfiction. Several students and their teacher, Mariel Amez, discuss their impressions of exploring various hyperfiction links and applying concepts from the article "Hyperfiction" by Claudia Ferradas Moi. Many students felt lost at first when exploring the hyperfiction sites. They discussed issues like whether hyperfiction offers more reader freedom than traditional books, whether it is democratic, and whether screens will replace books. Their comments showed they were thinking critically about hyperfiction and its relationship to postmodern concepts of reader empowerment and multiple interpretations.
