Abstract
In 1964 Marshall McLuhan wrote ‘the medium is the message’ in The Extensions of Man in order to argue that the medium is not just a channel in which communication takes place but an extension of human consciousness. The reliance on digital devices that is evinced across much of the world today demonstrates the insight of McLuhan’s aphoristic observation: humans and media work in coordination with one another, manipulating our perception of time and space. Set within this context of hybridization, Ambient Literature: Towards a New Poetics of Situated Writing and Reading Practices (2020) carves out a niche for itself by discussing literature in which the fictional element is governed and mediated by technology, while the medium controls and creates the progress of the narrative.
