A Stroll Through Literature of Tomorrow: A Brief (Futurological) Speculation
Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: This article offers some modest speculations on the possible literature of the not-too-distant future. It is based on the observation that literature not only changes but also evolves, and this evolution can be seen as guided by certain principles. Such four closely intertwined contemporary principles that may continue to shape the literature of the near future are the principle of indeterminacy, the principle of unexpectedness, the principle of semi-avant-gardism, and the principle of transitivity. The article explores these principles and also discusses potential dead ends in current literary development.
