new electronic textual media: hypertext fiction, collaborative and computer-generated
writing. Hyperfiction in the form discussed here will not stay the same (and has already
started to develop away from and beyond the examples discussed here). Itis beyond the
scope of this study, or of any study, to give predictions of how the computer will
influence and shape literary forms, but I hope to have pointed out a few shortcomings as
well as many ofthe interesting and exciting questions the current experiments raise. Itis
in the nature of the subject matter of this thesis that it is a moving, changing and
developing form of literary expression. I would like to see my study as part of this
development - not as a definitive retrospective, but a part ofa growing work in progress.
