Michael Joyce

Michael Joyce is an influential American author and digital literature pioneer, known for his experimental works that blend technology, storytelling, and reader interaction. He gained prominence in the 1990s with pieces like "Afternoon, a story," which utilized hypertext to create a non-linear reading experience, allowing readers to navigate the narrative in multiple directions.

His contributions have made a significant impact on the fields of literature, digital media, and the study of hypertext fiction.
