Since readers can take different paths through such bodies of information, hypertext is therefore properly described as multisequential or multilinear rather than as nonlinear writing. Let me emphasize the obvious - that hypertext is an information technology in which a new element, the link, plays the defining role, for all the chief practical, cultural, and educational characteristics of this medium derive from the fact that linking creates new kinds of connectivity and reader choice. (Landow 1999, p. 154.)
