Publisher Summary 1
With desktop, laptop, and handheld devices available at even poverty-stricken scholars' prices, the age of turning the page seems to be passing by. Writers, good writers are responding to these technologies in a new genre, and Hayles (literature and design/media arts, U. of California, Los Angeles) uses her expertise here to explain its importance and move it into the classroom. She describes the transition from page to screen and the contexts for electronic literature (namely, the body and the machine), and shows how the genre is both revealing and transforming as it revalues computational practice. In a very lively final chapter she discusses the respective futures of print and electronic literature. Annotation 漏2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
