Hypertext and the web both lend themselves to the post modernist way of thinking. It is a vast changing system of relationships which "permits the contextualization of an otherwise fixed central canon of text." This medium epitomises what writers like Calvino and Drucker have in mind for the modern reader. The medium is anything but linear and allows the reader to choose their own path through the text. It proves to be a much more dynamic experience for the reader. One is not not only reading text, but reading through text. Hypertext allows for much more creativity with text. All three authors, Clavino, Drucker and Acker's hypertextual tendencies were evident throughout their novels.

• Hypertext accelerates the post modernist movement, taking their ideas concerning reading and writing to a new level. Hypertext as a medium for reading and writing has been the cause of much skepicism. Many argue it is going to encourage blatant copyright infringement. To some literature in hypertext is too unstable, losing the ability to sustain literary criticism.
