[Commlist] New Book: @ArabicElit: Electronic Literature in the Arab World

Reham Hosny is pleased to share the new open-access book, /@ArabicElit: 
Electronic Literature in the Arab World/, published by Bloomsbury, which 
is now freely available online:

Exploring digital poetry, interactive fiction, augmented reality 
narratives and AI-generated texts, the book examines how contemporary 
Arabic electronic literature contributes to the global digital literary 
landscape.

It also situates these creative practices within a long, interconnected 
history of technological and literary innovation, from Muhammad ibn Musa 
al-Khwarizmi’s foundational algorithms to Al-Jazari’s ingenious 
automata, highlighting the formative contributions of Arab and Islamic 
civilisations to the digital world.

At a time of geopolitical tension and cultural polarisation, the book 
makes a case for intercultural dialogue through literature, reminding us 
that digital creativity is not the product of a single culture, but 
emerges from shared histories and human imagination.
