- Abstract
Much may be said about the differences between hypertext fiction and traditional print fiction, and rejecting the novelty of the medium and its literary merit are now a thing of the past. The present article discusses the connection between the hypertext link as the most distinctive element of hypertext fiction with the combining of time and space into a continuum. Studying Michael Joyce's hypertext fiction, Twelve Blue, building on the network models of Michel Foucault and Fredric Jameson and the network interaction model of Marie-Laure Ryan, and using Francois Lyotard's concept of the "event" this paper proposes a more complete and more dynamic model which may be used to describe the flow of space and time in hypertext fiction.
