Abstract

American Literature Book Reviews 419 classes that shape the resulting data outputs and visualizations that give the project meaning. Both are vitally important steps in which the researcher's choices are central to final results. I would have liked to see more of this process elaborated here. To his credit, Jockers has created a companion website with some supporting materials, but we need more. The future of the scholarly monograph, however, is a subject for another day. If Jockers is interested in the machine in the human (and perhaps undersells the human in the machine), Swirski's work speculates on whether computer-generated literature will need the human at all. From Literature to Bit erature is a fascinating exploration of the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) for literary production and larger cultural transformation.
