1. Regards Croisés: Perspectives on Digital Literature

   from the publisher: What happens to literature in an age of digital technology? Regards Croisés: Perspectives on Digital Literature provides an answer, with a collection of cutting-edge critical essays on literature gone digital. Regards Croisés is an important addition to existing research on digital literature, and will appeal to scholars of electronic writing, digital art, humanities computing, media and communication, and others interested in the field. It offers a significant advance in the field through its wide-angle perspective that globalizes digital literature and diversifies the current critical paradigms. Regards Croisés shows how digital literature connects with traditions and future directions of reading and writing communities all over the world. With contributions by authors from eight countries and three continents, the collection presents points of view on a transcontinental practice of digital literature. Regards Croisés also opens dialogues with expanded critical paradigms of digital literature, beyond earlier critical concern with the aesthetics of the screen as a space of hypertext links.

3. Universo Molécula

   Author description: Written in Spanish, Universo molécula is a work that links the molecular structure of matter (made by two or three atoms united by a force of electrical origin called link), with the working of the literary language (and, more specifically, poetic language). This molecular universe is inhabited by some different textual typologies (images, sounds and words), and we can go through different kinds of navigation, reader immersion and interaction. It is a rich and complex poetic system that, like molecules, uses different forms of representation to adjust to various complexities: from the most simple to three-dimensional models.

4. Soldatmarkedet

   A changing and growing literary work or works published, performed and displayed between 2003 and 2007. The version referenced here was published by the Danish electronic literature journal Afsnit P. The works all explore the title word: "soldatmarkedet", which means the soldier market. Some of them simply repeat a single letter from the word over and over, in a dense form of concrete poetry almost divorced from meaning. An installation at Skulpturens Hus in Stockholm in 2005 included filing cabinets filled with printouts of 15000 unique, computer-generated permutations of 20 texts written by Aasprong.

6. Disappearing Rain

   Deena Larsen's Disappearing Rain is one of the major works of web-based digital narrative, written in 2000. It is studied in various universities worldwide and has been critically reviewed by scholars in the field of digital fiction. In essence, the plot revolves around the disappearance of Anna and her family’s attempts to piece together what has happened to her: "The only trace left of Anna, a freshman at the University of California, Berkeley, is an open internet connection in the computer in her neatly furnished dorm room." The detective story unwinds, one link at a time, but even as readers explore Anna's disappearance, Larsen also orchestrates our own disappearance in the virtual reality of the Internet.

7. A Sky of Cinders

   A hypertextual prose poem, told in the second person, about a dystopic future summer where the skies are filled with ash due to some environmental disaster. Each brief node offers the reader two links, at first giving what appears to be an almost linear narrative, but eventually returning to the beginning to allow the exploration of new paths. The work describes the sensations of living through such a summer without going into the narrative of how we got there, or suggestions to what may happen next.

9. The Last Performance

   Author description: The Last Performance [dot org] is a constraint-based collaborative writing, archiving and text-visualization project responding to the theme of lastness in relation to architectural forms, acts of building, a final performance, and the interruption (that becomes the promise) of community. The visual architecture of The Last Performance [dot org] is based on research into "double buildings," a phrase used here to describe spaces that have housed multiple historical identities, with a specific concern for the Hagia Sophia and its varied functions of church, mosque, and museum. The project uses architectural forms as a contextual framework for collaborative authorship. Source texts submitted to the project become raw material for a constantly evolving textual landscape.
