Cyber Ireland - by C Lynch (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Cyber Ireland explores, for the first time, the presence and significance of cyberculture in Irish literature. Bringing together such varied themes as Celtic mythology in video games, Joycean hypertexts and virtual reality Irish tourism, the book introduces a new strand of Irish studies for the twenty-first century.

Review Quotes

"Cyber Ireland is an impressive achievement. Lynch avoids the simplistic digital vs. print dichotomy and instead demonstrates the intertextual possibilities of a range of texts and a variety of media. Engagingly written, with a welcome dose of humour, this is an important contribution to digital cultural studies, both in Ireland and elsewhere." (Nicola Presley, Irish Studies Review, June, 2018)
