"Hyperfiction" is short for "hypertext fiction" -- fiction written to be
read interactively and non-sequentially. In hyperfiction, the author uses
the machine and the reader's interaction to shift point of view, change
pacing, adapt or explain elements that may be unclear (or too clear), or
(occasionally) to change what happens.
