Scholars mostly of English literature, but also of computer games and cultural studies, explore links between the work of Argentine poet and prose writer Borges (1899-1986) and post-human elements of cyber-culture. Their topics include technology and the same infinite substance as the night, the trauma of post-human history, and the abysmal problem of time.
