- For a vision of hypertext as within but pushing against the structure of university research, see Scholarly Hypertext: Self-Represented Complexity (https://philpapers.org/archive/KOLQHS.pdf. This is a .pdf file containing an article from the proceedings of the ACM conference Hypertext 97.)
- Much can be said about the advantages or disadvantages of writing in either hypertext or print. Follow my reflections on both media and my experience writing a book and a hypertext on the same topic area. You can read my vision for that project in "Ruminations in Mixed Company: Literacy in Print and Hypertext Together" (https://archive.the-next.org/kolb/ruminations-in-mixed-company/archival/). and my reflection after finishing the project in "Twin Media" (https://the-next.eliterature.org/works/2079/9/0/), The project itself is "Sprawling Places" (https://archive.the-next.org/kolb/sprawling-places/revised/aboutthi.html)
- For a discussion of the problems of unity and authorship in hypertext, see the interview in Seulemonde: Socrates's Apology (https://the-next.eliterature.org/works/2076/9/0/l). That interview refers to the hypertext Socrates in the Labyrinth, which contains further discussion and examples.
- For a discussion of patterns of linkage that have shown up in hypertext fiction and non-fiction, see Mark Bernstein's essay on different link patterns found in hypertext writing. In another essay, Bernstein argues that it is not links but patterns of links that make hypertext what it is.
- The quotation about alternatives to Socrates is from my "Socrates and the Story of Inquiry," in Postmodern Sophistications (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1992), p. 16. (https://dkolb.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Chapter-1.-Socrates-and-the-Story-of-Inquiry.pdf.)
- For more on Habermas's distinction of system from lifeworld, see his The Theory of Communicative Action (Boston: Beacon Press, 1981).
