 Digital narratives place the invention and refinement of the computer at the pinnacle of scientific and technological accomplishment. Therefore, it may seem strange that digital narratives should draw so heavily on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century romanticism. This book examines the spectrum of romantic narrative that pervades the digital age, from McLuhan's utopian vision of social reintegration by electronic communications to the claims of cyberspace to offer new realities. The characters that populate these technoromances are putative digital identities, cyborgs, computerized agents, and avatars, under the unitary gaze of the global brain, the transcendent intelligence emerging as the digital network grows. Digital narratives place the invention and refinement of the computer at the pinnacle of scientific and technological accomplishment.
