As this volume so clearly demonstrates, Hayles is a subtle reader of texts, a knowledgeable critic of new technology, and a fine theorist of culture. Kate Hayles reads with real attention and attention to the real, attending to electronic literature and hybrid verbal/visual forms with an eye to the materiality and mediality at their heart. (Michael Joyce, Vassar College)Katherine Hayles' Writing Machines is a major addition to the scholarship on hypertext and, in general, on the relation of technology to literature. The combination here results in an outstanding piece of writing. I am certain readers of Writing Machines will place it near the top of their list of books on hypertext. (Mark Poster, University of California, Irvine)Hayles's book is one of the most exciting examples of technological anti-determinism I have ever read. (Jan Baetens Image & Narrative)N.

As electronic documents become more pervasive, print appears not as the sea in which we swim, transparent because we are so accustomed to its conventions, but rather as a medium with its own assumptions, specificities, and inscription practices.

Hayles explores works that focus on the very inscription technologies that produce them, examining three writing machines in depth: Talan Memmott's groundbreaking electronic work Lexia to Perplexia, Mark Z.

I have just finished reading this book, and I am both thrilled and saddened. Carry the girl is there for her cousin wedding. These new business owners are part of a national trend affecting rich and poor alike. A friend gave the book to me after a long conversation about prayer and the television preachers who wave their hands and magically heal people. Online marketing has never been my strength which is why I picked up this book -- the title addressed my biggest challenge head on.In order to scale my business, I am trying to think of ways to make sure my brand is getting in front of the right people. I was very disappointed having paid $70 for a book that contains such obvious errors. I do love her books. But while the political landscape doesn't yet support their freedom, they have already changed the cultural and economic landscape. An essential book for a casual reader or for the folktales scholar. Don't get caught unprepared.. I would know. A little difficult to get into at the start and sometimes hard to follow all the different people that flow in and out of this autobiography but when you remember the author wrote it more as a collection of stories and memories for his children and grandchildren you understand that it was not the intent to necessarily develop characters. this is one of the books I chose to send to my great grand daughter (3yrs) & she loves it. Amazing book
