Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari

Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari wrote a book, A Thousand Plateaus in 1980. The introduction was called “Rhizome.” Rhizome is a very, very abstract concept, which I do not really understand. After reading about it, I think it is a type of writing. As the writers explain, “The rhizome connects any point to any other point.” I am fairly certain this is an offshoot of the idea of hypertext, in that text can be connected at many different points, and does not need to be linear. I could be totally wrong, because this piece is very confusing and vague, but this is my interpretation of what the writers were saying.
