Going into this class with no knowledge of what this course entailed, reading the first chapter of Electronic Literature by Scott Rettberg and Katherine Hayes's article gave me a little bit more understanding. They both talk about the difference of what a physical form of literature is and what a digital form is. But they also talk about what is similar. They both use technology of some sort to be created and formed. E-lit is something that is constantly developing and changing. E-lit doesn't have a set genre and it's important that it doesn't. This allows E-lit to be limitless and allows creators the freedom to make anything. 

The reference I chose to look further into is Nick Montfort's Twisty Little Passages: An Approach to Interactive Fiction. It gives a very well written introduction to the history of the interactive fiction genre. This book offers first time users of interactive fiction to approach this type of genre in a way that will lead to a more entertaining experience. Unfortunately, when I tried to read more into it, the website requires a sign up process. It does sound like an interesting book to read though.
