Digital Fictions

3 Credits

Explores literary fiction composed and delivered in digital forms from the origins of computers in the mid-twentieth century to the present day. The course places equal emphasis on a historical survey of the intersection between the digital and the literary; on the enterprise of digital fiction as a dynamic and living form with new work appearing online almost every day; and on offering students the opportunity to experiment with digital platforms for fiction writing of their own. No technical expertise (or experience in creative writing) is expected or assumed.
