Espen Aarseth, "Conclusions: The Ideology of Influence"

(In Cybertext)

- Persistent myth of co-creation
- Ergodic works include "the rules for its own use" and distinguishes between sucessful/unsucessful users (always?)
- Anamorphosis: hide/code aspects of a work for viewer to uncover (through non-trivial effort) -> determinate cybertexts with a "final state"
- Three kinds of literature: Novels (including explorable hypertexts), anamorphic literature, metamorphic literature (in which the user has real influence)
- Broad issues: users vs creators, old vs new terms/theory, etc.
