This chapter took everything I previously knew about hypertext and expanded on it. I believed the stereotypical comment: Hypertext fiction is merely a story with embedded links. It goes against the "laws" of narrative and breaks down typical structure. I found this to be super interesting. I have been taking various English classes my entire life, but this has exposed me to an entirely different dimension of what literature is defined as. I also enjoyed how "untraditional" the reader is as well. There is emphasis placed on the reader becoming a navigator and going through the program/pages/etc. in a second-person POV. My favorite example of this is definitely Netflix's Black Mirror: Bandersnatch. This came out in prime "choose your own adventure" type movies/shows, and is extremely underrated. It takes this crazy twist on hypertext, while still having the black mirror elements. That is definitely an example of a more developed nonlinear media, but it is proof that hypertext lives on, just in different mediums. 

Even though the textbook had lots to say about Patchwork Girl by Shelley Jackson, I still wanted to explore more. I never read Frankenstein (Gasp), so I had limited information about Mary Shelley before going into this.  Patchwork Girl offers a different perspective - a female one. However, in true hypertext fashion, it is not a linear story. Similar to the concept of Frankenstein being "patched" together, this piece uses lexia to break up the content.
