Following the cognitive approaches that have rehabilitated immersion as the product of fundamental processes of world-construction and mental simulation, she details the many forms that interactivity has taken-or hopes to take-in digital texts, from determining the presentation of signs to affecting the level of story.

Tracing the transformation of storytelling in the digital age, this work examines electronic narrative forms. It reveals how digital media convey meaning and create stories. It stresses the difficulty of reconciling narrativity with interactivity and anticipates the time when media will provide fresh ways to experience stories.
