Information Multiplicity: American Fiction in the Age of Media Saturation

John Johnston

This text describes how a new sort of fractilized realism has redefined thought itself- from the High Modernist stream of consciousness into what the machine psychologistDaniel Dennet refers to as multiple drafts or circuits operating concurrently in thehuman brain. In a series of close readings, the author traces how such a viral influx ofinformation into human consciousness has been replicated in works by Thomas Pynchon( Gravity’s Rainbow and Vineland ), Joseph McElroy ( Lookout Cartridge ), WilliamGaddis ( J.R. ), Don DeLillo ( Libra ) and William Gibson ( Necromancer ).
