Samenvatting
This text describes how a new sort of fractilized realism has redefined thought itself - from the High Modernist "stream of consciousness" into what the machine psychologist Daniel Dennet refers to as "multiple drafts" or "circuits" operating concurrently in the human brain. In a series of close readings, the author traces how such a viral influx of information into human consciousness has been replicated in works by Thomas Pynchon ("Gravity's Rainbow" and "Vineland"), Joseph McElroy ("Lookout Cartridge"), William Gaddis ("J.R."), Don DeLillo ("Libra") and William Gibson ("Necromancer").
