	Hypertext fiction did not survive as a literary form is because the authors that published theses first works were not computer literate. Another reason hypertext fiction did not survive is that the resolution of the monitors did not give the reader a good reading experience. c is that the computer technology which was used during its early days did not support the correct resolution for creating a good reading experience. So this did not encourage both the authors and readers towards the works of hypertext fiction.
