This project examines how new and recent technologies facilitate new story types, including collaborative hyperfiction. The author begins with a brief consideration of those enabling technologies that facilitate different types of hyperfiction, and then defines hyperfiction in itself, its significance, and the new paths of storytelling it enables. Finally, collaborative hyperfiction is analyzed, with significant regards being paid unto its impact upon society and culture.
