Borges 2.0

Zusatztext

Borges 2.0: From Text to Virtual Worlds analyzes Jorge Luis Borgess «The Library of Babel», «The Garden of Forking Paths», and «The Intruder» from a tripartite perspective that encompasses literature, science, and technology. This book underscores developments in chaos theory during the 1980s and their intricate connections with Borgess works and the digital world. Without losing sight of this critical framework, this study also takes into account Deleuze and Guattaris rhizome theory and Umberto Ecos theory on labyrinths. Borges 2.0 is unique in its analysis of how Borgesian texts relate to science and technology at the same time that science and the virtual world illuminate Borgess texts to provide a new reading of his work.
