Writing machines
Book • 2002
In 'Writing Machines,' N. Katherine Hayles investigates how textual materiality and computational technologies interact to transform reading, writing, and textual production.
She examines historical and contemporary artifacts to show how mechanical and electronic media shape literary form and interpretive practices.
Hayles blends literary criticism with media theory to argue that the material operations of texts—machines, typesetting, code—are inseparable from their meanings.
The book foregrounds the interplay between human authorship and machine processes, anticipating later debates about digital texts and computational authorship.
It is widely cited in media studies for highlighting how technological substrates influence cultural production.
