Cybertext Theory

Cybertext Theory examines how digital texts and media are structured to produce meaning through the interaction between the reader and the system. It focuses on how technology shapes our experience of texts, emphasizing the choices and actions needed to access and interpret content. Unlike traditional texts, cybertexts often involve non-linear, interactive, or variable pathways, altering how information is engaged with. This theory helps us understand the unique ways digital media create meaning, emphasizing the dynamic relationship between users and the digital environment, and how that shapes our understanding and experience of digital texts.
