Hypertext as persuasion

As part of our discussion of hypertexts and Choose Your Own Adventure Books, I found a link to an interesting BoingBoing article. For another neat example, see this image that I found from a comment on the BoingBoing article.

The mapping process here is what I was trying to talk about in class; trees that allow us to immediately jump to different branches of an argument. While this might not be good entertainment in a CYOA book, this is primarily because CYOA is about entertainment, whereas persuasive hypertexts would highly benefit from this flexibility.
