VIRTUAL REMAKING: TOWARDS WILLIAM GIBSON’S OPTIMISM AND PESSIMISM IN THE CONTEXT OF CONTEMPORARY PHANTOMATICS
Nikolay GenovABSTRACT
The current paper aims to put one of William Gibson’s latest novels – “The Peripheral“ – in the position of comparison, the boundaries of which are set by Stanislaw Lem’s phantomology. Its main goal is to determine how much of Gibson’s work fits into the traditional notion of phantomatics. The parallel is built on the motif of remaking which is considered crucial for the analysis of the chosen works.
