Description:

Provocative essays and short tales that explore the effect of technology and new media on our everyday lives.

Novelist, cyber-theorist, and widely acclaimed hypertext fiction writer Michael Joyce weaves an evocative and provocative set of brief essays and short parable-like fictions into a compelling collection of meditations on how technology and new media affect our culture and everyday lives. Taken together, these pieces present a writer’s reflections on a life of sudden changes at the edge of an uncertain future. They continue Joyce’s effort to construct what in previous collections he has called “theoretical narratives.” Here, however, Joyce turns from reflections to what he terms “refractions,” alluding to the turning or bending a wave undergoes when it passes from one medium into another of different density. Through these refractions, he formulates an understanding of the wave of change we face as human beings in a multimediated age.
