The Reader's Brain
Have you ever found yourself re-reading the same sentence four or five times and thought 'I should get more sleep'? Are you clueless as to why one paragraph just seems to 'flow' while you simply can't recall the contents of another? Guess what: you are not alone. Even the best writers fail to grasp why their writing works. The Reader's Brain is the first science-based guide to writing, employing cutting-edge research on how our minds process writ…
Virtual Intimacy trademark and the Male Gaze Cubed
Interactive narratives on CD-ROM have the potential to make us feel more a part of the stories we experience than do either film or print. Yet, as some early offerings in this fledgling genre reveal, the use of subjective camera and the constraints on the user’s interaction with the narrative can conspire to make some readers feel straitjacketed by the text, rather than transported by it. The author analyzes one of these early offerings in depth …

In Aldous Huxley's Brave New World (1932), audiences flock to the feelies, a hybrid of cinema and Sensorama that communicates the kisses and couplings onscreen to the individual viewers, hunched in their seats clutching onto decidedly phallic knobs.

By claiming that hypertext concretely realizes the shape and role of the postmodern Text, researchers claim also to be able to assess the possible social impact of hypertext. Yet much of the literature also relies on a perspective on the links bet…
