"In this insightful and readable volume, Landow explores the relationship between contemporary literary and social theory and the latest advances in computer software."-- Voice Literary Supplement. "A useful book for understanding the effect technology is having on scholarship."-- Semiotic Review of Books. "Landow['s]... presentation is measured, experiential, lucid, moderate, and sensible. He merely points out that the concept `hypertext' lets us test some concepts associated with critical theory, and gracefully shows how the technology is contributing to reconfigurations of text, author, narrative, and (literary) education."-- Post Modern Culture. "Good news for teachers who are not too sensitive about their intellectual authority... Bad news for print culture."-- Times Literary Supplement

En el presente libro, Landow se dedica a explorar lo que es una tecnologia informativa relativamente nueva, un modo revolucionario de publicacion o una forma altamente interactiva de texto electronico, y, como consecuencia, acaba desvelandonos aspectos fundamentales y apenas vislumbrados del mas novedoso y revolucionario medio informaticoB: la multimedia. Para ello, Landow identifica y expone las repercusiones que este nuevo medio puede tener en todos los ambitos relacionados con las letras, pues el hipertexto y la multimedia no son solamente una presentacion mas vistosa del texto.
