Hyperfiction is a literary genre in which narrative is non-linear, meaning that the reader can “jump” from one point of the text to the other in different ways thus delving into different possible stories. Altough this genre predates its use in electronic format, it has become increasingly popular in the Internet via the use of hypertextual links. These add on the possibility of not only allowing non-linear jumps within the story, but also of taking advantage of other technological devices such as music, images, and even explanatory documents.
