2. Life on the Screen: Identity on the Internet

   Life on the Screen is a book not about computers, but about people and how computers are causing us to reevaluate our identities in the age of the Internet.

Life on the Screen traces a set of boundary negotiations, telling the story of the changing impact of the computer on our psychological lives and our evolving ideas about minds, bodies, and machines.

3. The melancholic hypertext : the fate of the writer in the tangential narrative

   This thesis examines the nature of an electronic medium known as hypertext in relation to the act and experience of writing and expression. Essential to the thesis is a conviction that the experiential realm that is created by a particular medium of communication and/or representation is capable of also creating new 'habits of mind' or 'worldings.' These two concepts are indicative of the intensity of experience that is made available via an expressive act and the extent to which the various aspects of this intensity are capable of transformations on personal and public levels. One of the central issues of the thesis is an ongoing re-evaluation of the euphoric claims that trumpet hypertext as usurping the so-called tyranny of the book and the domain of linear thinking in general.

7. ebr version 1.0: Winter 1995/96

   To introduce an electronic
   book
   review, in the very medium that is reducing book technology to a
   museum piece, is to confront some of the more persistent cultural
   contradictions of the past few decades. This is the late age of print
   we’re in, when all the books worth saving are being scanned into digital
   archives, and the very conception of the book as a fixed object is
   giving way to the hyperreality of letters floating on a screen. For
   those writers who are committed to working in the new electronic
   environments, such a “review” might better be named a “retrospective,” a
   mere scholarly commemoration of a phenomenon that is passing. “The death
   of books” has spawned a rather lively academic discourse of its own,
   following in the wake of post-history, post-structuralism,
   post-feminism, and the various postmodernisms that have worked to
   undercut the authority of original authorship. The argument has been
   made that technological change represents a happy “convergence” with
   developments in literary theory; yet new technologies and media of
