I like the premise of the text. The way Aarseth used a mathematical(or is it physics) idea, ergodic, to do his literary analysis is very intriguing. But it almost sounds like "deconstruction". I am curious if derrida himself had an input about the "interactive narrative".

The author cited a form of cybertext in antiquity, I Ching. I'm hoping to see a copy of this book in the future because of this idea of randomization. It's an amazing example to support the author's theory. The image below is a trigram used in the texts of I Ching.

Although it's funny that the book, Ergodic Literature, is presenting the idea of non-linear by using a linear form. I'm not saying it's oxymoronic. It's just funny.
