Haptic Interfaces in Electronic Literature by Diogo Marques
What happens when reading depends on swiping, tapping, or pressing glass? Haptic Interfaces in Electronic Literature: The Digital Midas Touch explores how digital literature turns ordinary gestures into part of the literary experience itself. Examining works by Serge Bouchardon and other authors, the book shows how touch unsettles transparency while exposing the limits of control. Blending accessible theory with engaging examples, it offers the first comprehensive account of haptics in digital poetics. Essential for researchers, students, and anyone curious about the future of reading, it reveals why touch is central to our literary and cultural experience today.
