See for information on Virtual Reality, AI vs. "IA" ("'intelligence amplification'" [54]), and interactive-fiction games. Concludes that the "various interactive forms" RTK discusses point toward "a whole new branch of narrative" that "abandons the fixity of the written text in what has been called a post-Gutenberg revolution." Agrees with D. Haraway's "A Manifesto for Cyborgs" (q.v. this Category) and advises us "that we are already cyborgs, already facing integration into technological narrative" (64).
