The Arc and the machine is a timely and original defence of
narrative in an age of information. Stressing interpretation and
experience alongside affect and sensation it convincingly argues
that narrative is key to contemporary forms of cultural production
and to the practice of contemporary life. Re-appraising the
prospects for narrative in the digital age, it insists on the
centrality of narrative to informational culture and provokes a
critical re-appraisal of how innovations in information technology
as a material cultural form can be understood and assessed. The
book offers a careful exploration of narrative theory, a
sophisticated critique of techno-cultural writing, and a series of
tightly focused case studies. All of which point the way to a
restoration of a critical - rather than celebratory approaches - to
new media. The scope and range of this book is broad, its
argumentation careful and exacting, and its conclusions exciting.
