Beschreibung
Marie-Laure Ryan explores virtual reality in her book and examines whether this concept of the computer age requires a radically new theory of reading alongside the two basic ones—interactivity and immersion, which she builds upon. She guides readers through lesser-known and more familiar theories of the twentieth century that have addressed the issue of newly emerging electronic media. The author critically engages with the overly celebratory discourse on hypertext and virtual reality, comparing it with older concepts of narrativity and the reception of printed text. In meditative 'intermezzos,' she discusses artistic works labeled as 'interactive' or 'new' and observes whether they truly require a radically different approach from the reader.
