The most comprehensive definition of cyberliterature
derives from the concept of digital literature, i.e. literature created on the
computer and presented by means of the computer. Trying to narrow the
concept of cyberliterature, it can be characterised by certain computer-spe-
cific qualities: multi-linearity, different parts of hypertexts connected by
links, uniting the written text with multimedia, interactivity etc. (…) Cyberliterature is part of a larger set of problems, the most general back
ground of which is the increasing role of technology in our society. Other
factors include the myriad opportunities that characterise the postmodernis
cultural situation, the expansion of the concept of literature and the emer
gence of new forms of literature.
