The technological unconscious in contemporary fiction in English

The Technological Unconscious in Contemporary Fiction in English analyzes the way in which contemporary English-language prose explores the role that the broadly understood environment plays in shaping human consciousness, with particular emphasis on technological aspects of this environment. The discussion of the chosen literary texts aims to demonstrate that contemporary narrative fiction in English presents consciousness as inextricably linked with the surrounding technological environment. Using a wide range of narrative techniques and referring to a variety of consciousness models, the analyzed texts also show that the connection between technology and consciousness is often invisible to the human agent due to the ubiquity and transparency of the technology.
