A chronology of the evolution of hypertext
in three-dimensional space.
From the parallel text of “The Rosetta Stone” hyperlinking languages and cultures, through
“The Book” and its hypertextual qualities manifesting via typography, layout, the contents page, footnotes, marginal notes, bibliography, further readings and the text itself and onto the screen and the web’s most sensational information resource, Wikipedia.
Hypertext, a digital-affordance considered by many print’s final blow is presented here as a mere part of the evolution of writing and certainly not as its “black screen of death”.
