This book examines the influence of information and communication technology on our cultural imagination, particularly within literary fiction amidst information overload. It questions the types of narratives emerging in a world saturated with information and how these narratives fit into a broader historical context. The central argument posits that contemporary fiction reflects a longstanding pattern in modern culture by addressing, resisting, and revitalizing narrative structures through alternative modes of information organization. By concentrating on the novel genre, the book facilitates an in-depth analysis of narrative implications linked to structures like databases, hyperlinks, and computer games within a historical framework. It engages with works such as Goethe’s Wilhelm Meisters Wanderjahre, Musil’s Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften, and Schmidt’s Zettels Traum, alongside recent texts from authors like Jan Kjærstad and David Mitchell. Additionally, the book highlights how the impact of information technology on narrative formation can extend to other cultural productions, fostering a broader understanding of the current cultural condition of narrative and the role of information and communication technology.
