Interactive Cowputer: September 2006
http://cowputerinteractive.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 21, 2006. Montfort argues that interactive fiction is distinctively different from hypertext fiction, stating:. There is nothing in the nature of the lexia or the link, those fundamental elements of hypertext, that allows the reader to type and contribute text or provides the computer with the means to parse or understand natural language.
