Neterature Manifesto

net literature



The concept of a literature work that entails a plot through

introduction -> development -> epilogue
reflects a way of experiencing the world undermined in modern times and deeply questioned in the last decades. Technological outreach and the giant increase of the amount of "informed" people, have allowed the diffusion of a mode of experience

multilevel
multimedia
multidisciplinary
of more subjects simultaneously
of more objects simultaneously


We say "diffusion" because the possibility for this always existed, but it was the priviledge of few, sometimes linked to religious systems in which it helped gaining power.
Internet advent has made this approach a rule through surfing that is "reticular" by nature, as opposed to "linear". Surfing is a different way of learning, experiencing, playing and making various activities.
It is therefore a technical tool that not only brings more speed and variety to acquired cognitive dynamics, but that also allows a new mode of experience. Knowledge gained through this experience, then, is structurally different from the traditional one.
It will be less rational and more fluid, less hyerarchical and more reticular, less deep and more wide.
Neterature aims at bringing on a literary level this chance.
