In selected twentieth- and twenty-first-century texts it discovers a shift from oceanic, place-based knowledge to an atmospheric, placeless circulation of information. Consonant with the displacements of the Information Age, this book reads contemporary narrative as it imagines and navigates today's virtual spaces. An important conclusion of the book is that intellectual resources are finite and should be used sustainably. Thus, arguing against a conventional comparative approach, this book proposes reading practices that resist the tendency toward an oversupply of reworked literary contexts that seems bent on matching the reach of the World Wide Web. Instead, the book reimagines place as a practice in the way it is communicated and narrated. Ultimately, this book empowers the reader to reimagine a future for narrative in the Information Age. 000760803 650_0 $$aFiction$$y20th century$$xHistory and criticism. 000760803 650_0 $$aSea in literature. 000760803 650_0 $$aLiterature and technology. 000760803 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aAhlberg, Sofia, 1973-$$tAtlantic afterlives in contemporary fiction.$$dNew York : Palgrave Macmillan, [2016]$$z9781137479211$$w(DLC) 2015033236$$w(OCoLC)922639578 000760803 852__ $$bebk 000760803 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1057/9781137479228$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000760803 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:760803$$pGLOBAL_SET 000760803 980__ $$aEBOOK 000760803 980__ $$aBIB 000760803 982__ $$aEbook 000760803 983__ $$aOnline 000760803 994__ $$a92$$bISE
