Extractions: Yes, and quite right too. Literature is acting like any healthy cultural artefact does. It's absorbing new material, eating itself and vomiting up new work, reaching out for new brains to live in and new ways to speak. The only static art forms are dead ones, just like the only cultures not in flux are long dead. One of the worrying things about globalisation is actually more about Americanisation, and the proliferation via software of a pusilanimous, non-litigious, euphemistic form of American English where confrontation and difference become (1984-style) unspeakable and therefore unthinkable (e.g. the heinous Microsoft Word with its prissy red pen annotations). But even this kind of unpleasantness helps us in a way, because it feeds the growing worldwide realisation that the international military-industrial-entertainment complex is bad for all but a tiny minority of us, and lethal for many of us. We've got what we need from them. Thanks for the internet. Thanks for the computer I'm writing this on. Thanks for the CDs. We know how to make them now. Oh and close the door on your way out, capitalists.

Extractions: M ark Amerika , who is interviewed in the next issue of 3 AM Magazine , has described Adrienne Eisen s avant-pop hypertexts as subversive narrative journeys into the mind of a contemporary twentysomething woman whose erotic encounters are charged with a post-feminist satirical edge that cuts deep into the American psyche. Adrienne is the only hypertext writer to have won the New Media Invision Award and appears frequently at events such as PEN West and the Darmouth Institute for Advanced Graduate Studies. Her latest hypertextual stories , Winter Break and Other Stories , are online at: www.apc.net/adrienne . Adrienne Eisens first print novel, Making Scenes , is also available online. Dont miss our interview in the next issue of 3 AM Magazine Read about the trAce / Alt-X Competition in the Britlit section. M ore sci-fi, to start with. Remember last issue, and our item on the new software that spews out verse by the dozen? Well this time its for short story writers to start worrying about their survival. Brutus , a computer with a mildly aggressive name, can produce up to one new story every 15 seconds. Its creator, Selmer Bringsjord, spent seven years devising his creature, but it is a pretty impressive performance all the same. Many people, when asked to spot one of Brutuss stories amid a collection of human-written ones, fail to do so. This was the case of Giles Gordon, Fay Weldons literary agent. For the moment, however, Brutus can only write about hate and betrayal, concepts, which can be boiled down mathematical models. The problem as we see it is: will they find an audience ready to gobble down one betrayal story every 15 seconds? And if not, whats the use of all this? Maybe theyll have to create a robot reader, so that human beings can go on being lazy and pursuing more philistine ends. Were on the road to efficiency.

Extractions: No matter what medium it is in, most of Alistair's work has elements of modularity and randomness in its form. The content usually derives from an interest in and concern over the degree to which many people ignore the surveillance and information technology that now cocoons them twenty-four hours a day. NonAmbient is an infinite, self-generating sound work about the motorised, mechanical, electrical and electronic voices of the environments we build and create for ourselves. Through examining and digitally processing many hours of recordings made in and around Stirling, sounds have been extracted, magnified and looped to become components of a greater whole. Some of these sounds are recognisable and familiar, but others come from frequencies and levels of volume beyond normal human hearing or awareness. There are nearly one million possible permutations of the sounds that have been discovered through this process. The software will navigate its way through all of them eventually.
