The nature of reading is changing. Our minds and bodies have adjusted to superfast and responsive information environments. When we read traditionally made books and other linear bodies of text, a certain set of heuristics is involved that readers use to navigate the environment. Readers in our age have become visually-spatially oriented due to the major adaption to reading interfaces.
Hypertext is the technology that enables online information to connect, and for the user to read through a spatial environment. By creating a link to a word, set of words, or image; new options in navigation occur. This technology allows many ways for a reader to move through a text.
This publication explores the narrative and technical opportunities within the interactive-PDF format. Its content is a transcript from a podcast episode (link) about apocalyptic visions.
