Hypertext gives the opportunity to awake the readers' consciousness to an active behavior toward reading. It pushes them over the border between the reader and the writer and allows the act of reading to become an act of writing. However, is it such a simple process to transform the reading into writing? Is it even acceptable to think that creativity could be born from a process involving texts that have already been written? In this paper, we will ask ourselves how can one reach the creation of new information through the action of editing and what conditions this process requires.
