Recenzje

"Electronic Literature demonstrates rare common sense and an encyclopedic knowledge of works, theory, contexts, and criticism. This is a significant and important book by the field's founder that will be the definitive work on electronic literature now and for many years to come." N. Katherine Hayles, Duke University "Scott Rettberg provides an excellent history of digital storytelling and poetry - and points to the future. Electronic Literature is a clear map of creative writing's conjunction with computing, a vital region of today's culture." Nick Montfort, author of The Truelist "Rarely do a historian and his subject match so perfectly as Rettberg and the early days of electronic literature. This authoritative account of the origins of electronic literature covers all the genre's forms, as well as the people and institutions who helped found the field. A unique and remarkable book." Robert Coover, novelist and Professor Emeritus of Literary Arts at Brown University
