- Everything and less : the novel in the age of Amazon / by McGurl, Mark,1966-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."In Everything and Less, acclaimed critic Mark McGurl discovers a dynamic scene of literary experimentation in an unlikely location: in the realms of self-publishing created by Amazon. Reclaiming several works of self-published fiction from the abyss of critical disregard, McGurl offers a Copernican revolution in the world of letters: rather than giving central importance to the critically lionized highbrows--Colson Whitehead, Don DeLillo, Elena Ferrante, and Amitav Ghosh, among others--he discovers that their fiction orbits countless unknown authors forging a career through untraditional means"--- Subjects: Amazon.com (Firm); Electronic publishing.; Self-publishing.; Fiction; Fiction;

- Autonomy : a novel / by Hetherington, Victoria,1989-author.;
"As 2037 Canada is ravaged by illness, one woman and her AI companion enter a dangerous bubble of the superrich. Montreal, 2035: a fledging synthetic consciousness "wakes up" in a lab. Jenny, the lead developer, determined to nurture this synthetic being like a child, trains it for work with people at the border of the Canadian Protectorate. She names it Julian. Toronto, 2037: Canada has been annexed by a tightly conservative United States. Slaton, a therapist at a university, is framed by a student for arranging an illegal abortion. She follows the student to America and is detained at the border. In virtual space she meets Julian, and he becomes her constant companion. Meanwhile, a mysterious plague spreads across the world. Only the far seeing and well-connected Julian can protect Slaton from the impending societal collapse. Reminiscent of Don DeLillo's contemplative hyperrealities and Margaret Atwood's frightening future worlds, Autonomy is an ambitious philosophical novel about the possibilities for love in a world in which human bodies are either threatened or irrelevant."--- Subjects: Dystopian fiction.; Artificial intelligence; Plague; Women;
