Bolters Writing Space talks about the non-linearity of computer
writing in terms of a network. The connections, links, bridges, meanings, etc., still exist,
but they happen in an altogether free and connected way. In Bolters words, Each element
in this network may be a word, a sentence, a paragraph, and it may be related to as many other
elements as the author or the reader (who is also an author) cares to define. Many theorists
have implied that readers are also writers, but the multi-linearity and flexibility of computer texts
makes this writerly progression necessary and obvious for readers. Understanding the virtual
synthesis of reader and writer is an important progression in our hypertext paradigm.
