From the central concept of the field-which depicts the world as a
mutually interactive whole, with each part connected to every other
part by an underlying field- have come models as diverse as quantum
mathematics and Saussure's theory of language. In The Cosmic Web,
N. Katherine Hayles seeks to establish the scope of the field
concept and to assess its importance for contemporary thought. She
then explores the literary strategies that are attributable
directly or indirectly to the new paradigm; among the texts at
which she looks closely are Robert Pirsig's Zen and the Art of
Motorcycle Maintenance, Nabokov's Ada, D. H. Lawrence's early
novels and essays, Borges's fiction, and Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's
Rainbow.
