The World Wide Web at 25: Changing literature forever

The BBC recently published an article on the influence of internet on literature. The author argues that the World Wide Web has brought about a radical revolution in literature’s form and content – from e-books to Twitter fiction. Initially the internet appears in literature as science fiction, then science fact, curiously in the context of a dystopian society (in the style of Orwel's 1984). The article then focuses on the new literary forms brought about by Tweeter, with micro and flash fiction. There's even a Tweeter Fiction Festival soon to be held.

"These writers see an online world that is dizzyingly complicated, but they may actually be making it even more so. Who knows how mysterious things will get as we follow them down the rabbit hole."
