Hypertext: coming soon

In July 1990, Spin magazine ran this little blurb about something called Hypertext:

HYPERTEXT: An underground collective of authors using Apple Macintoshes to create the fiction of the future. Dispensing with the traditional linear narrative of the novel, interactive hypertext allows the reader of any given "page" to choose many other "pages" within the network. Some hypertexts are just narrative, while others incorporate everything from TV schedules to tarot cards to album liner notes. With a major Apple distribution deal in the works, the future should arrive some time this calendar year.
