Zusammenfassung:
This is a book about the messy, archival worlds of literature and computing, and the myriad of relations that have existed between the two. Before J. M. Coetzee was a writer of Nobel-Prize winning novels, the South African was a programmer for one of the most significant Cold War supercomputer projects in Britain. Experimental British writer Christine Brooke-Rose worked at Bletchley Park with Alan Turing. When not opining about modernism, Canadian literary critic Hugh Kenner was a devoted computer hobbyist. Literary scholars have often not known what to make of these 'other careers': intimidating, irrelevant, outside of the scope of literary studies, surely? When they do make links, it is often via the frame of formal logic that has dominated discussions of both computer history and literary modernism.
