INTRODUCTION

My work will be focused on the hyperfiction, how the author names it, Joe’s heartbeat in Budapest , which I have chosen to analyse from the section of Space.
First of all, I have decided to introduce the meaning of hypertext and hypertext fiction, that is, “a genre of electronic literature, characterized by the use of hypertext links which provides a new context for non-linearity in "literature" and reader interaction. “
Then you can discover the biography of the author that contains the basic information about her.
Finally, there is a conclusion where you could find closing stages of all the research.
Centred on the suggesting hypertext, we can say that is an imaginary conversation the reader has with the narrator. With this hypertextual conversational piece there is not only the narrator but the author (who is also the narrator) becomes involved depending on the path the reader chooses. The reader also has to participate in the story for there to be a story. The reader can either choose to follow the story and become the ‘main character’ or can be an ‘educated reader’ who prefers metaliterary discussion. This digital text can be read in different ways and will result in a different narration every time you choose one of the four options available Yes, No, Maybe, Bitch. The reader controls the outcome of the text.
