The essays offer a significant contribution to the growing debate on how digitization is shaping our collective identity, for better or worse.Text and Genre in Reconstruction will appeal to scholars in both the humanities and sciences and provides essential reading for anyone interested in the changing relationship between reader and text in the digital age.
