"You say hypertext will kill print fiction. You pit one against the other in the most cynical and transparent ways in hopes we'll tear each other to bits while you watch."
This quote stuck out to me because this is how I feel, that "hypertext will kill print fiction." I want to believe Maso when she asserts that this will not happen, but i have to disagree. Print is becoming more and more outdated just as CDs are quickly being phased out in exchange for mp3 players and VCRs are practically obsolete since the coming of DVDs. To me, there is nothing better than the smell of a book or the feel of a page between your fingers as you turn to the next chapter, and, in my opinion, hypertext threatens this form of communication. Although I don't really believe it, I sincerely wish that she is right in that writing and hypertext can coexist.
