Electronic Literature: What is it?
This article (by Katherine N. Hayles, 2007) surveys the development and current state of
electronic literature, from the popularity of hypertext fiction in the 1980s to
the present, focusing primarily on hypertext fiction, network fiction,
interactive fiction, locative narratives, installation pieces, “codework”,
generative art and the Flash poem. It also discusses the central critical issues
raised by electronic literature, pointing out that there is significant overlap
with the print tradition. It contains links to many electronic literary
works.
