One of the most common responses to hypertext is confusion or disorientation. While the text can sometimes offer hundreds of navigational choices in a single reading alone, the effect of these choices is usually to cloud, not clarify, a reader's idea of their location in the text. The print reader loses his/her most basic sense of judging how far into a work she/he is. Even maps of texts, like those generated by Storyspace, usually show macrostructures, not details. The "disorientation problem" in hypertexts (which is not to say it is in all hypertexts) has been well-documented and theorized already (see Landow 1997, 115-23), and it's also quite obvious in canonical hypertexts. Of course, when you're already lost in a text, you search for any concession from the author that yes, you are in fact supposed to be lost. These are opportunities for the text to communicate its own confusion.
