I've been considering that something I'm working on writing might be best produced in its primary form as an e-book with hypertextual intertextuality quite prominent. This is because it is attempting to bring together two or three normally separate disciplines and the nature of the argumentation is such that one could usefully start in several places and give more or less attention to certain parts according to what one already knows or where the primary interest might lie for any particular reader.
I happened upon something that seems to give a sense of this way of writing here: CMC Magazine: Shaping and Being Shaped. It starts with an introductiory statement with hypertext follow-throughs -the links aren't reproduced below but if you go to the link in the last sentence you'll see that this co-ordinating paragraph branches out to further resources:
Modern social scientists have widely critiqued technological determinism and have come to occupy four primary stances with respect to it. In this article, I examine the tone of technological determinism and the corresponding attitudes towards technology these stances imply.
I use a framework which is broadly applicable to both the macrosocial and microsocial levels. The selectivity of media shifts the purposes that a user originally had in using it. This transformation gives rise to resonances which can best be understood from a perspective which acknowledges interacting frames.
