The Turn on Literature Prize 2019

Literature has been the place to go for views on the new and discomforting. Readers have looked to literature to understand the movements of society and their own role in it. Is the experimental arena of electronic literature where we should now look? Can electronic literature help readers find ways to connect or disconnect with the ubiquitous digital transformation?
