Can hypertexts be successful in breaking writers free from conventional writing structure?

What a bizarre idea. I can understand having hyperlinks on a virtual essay, but on a hard copy? Jumping around the story? I do not know if I would have appreciated the motion. It surely would have made me feel dizzy and lost in meaning. Not knowing the chronological order of the story would no wonder make me have my own version of the story and other readers to have their own. It's just like having a more personal tie with the narrative. This technique is used in various other modes in different locations: altering the transitions, giving hints about the next song is basically what a DJ does. My final studio art project was a collage of my previous and final projects presented all together in a different composition . A hypertext in form of a collage then, can definitely work. William Burrough's technique hasn't been tried by many writers that we generally know of. Thus it makes me think that writers today are still under influence of traditional writers and they seem to be chained by the structure of "free writing." Burrough's idea, however unconventional, does add more to the narrative as well as challenging the old traditions. In order to shape narrative as a form of art, it is important we search for different means to break free from its structure.
