The New Media Reader - The Garden of Forking Paths Summary

In "The Garden of Forking Paths" there is no progression of time. Instead, it is a self-contained world dominated by pathways branching out from one another. There is no right or wrong way, just a world of possibilities that exist. The Garden is not an environment in which exploration brings individuals to a state of Enlightenment or discovery. In the Garden there is no forward movement. Instead, there exists a "labrynth" that encapsulates individuals within an informational space.
