> *Book description:*
>
> Glitches are errors where the digital bursts or creeps into our everyday
> lives as fragmented image, garbled text and aberrant event. Today, when
> computational technology is integrated ever more closely into bodies and
> social structures, glitches are considered by artists and companies
> alike as critical and commercial opportunities, revealing tears in the
> real-virtual binary. Glitch has also increasingly become a metaphor for
> understanding the political and ecological shocks the world pushes into
> the mediasphere each day. In /Glitch Poetics/ Nathan Jones shows how
> contemporary writers and artists are integrating the glitch as a
> literary effect, an affective critique and a realist reflection, at a
> time characterised by breakage, corruption and crisis.

> *Endorsements:*
>
> Based on a range of close readings of contemporary literature by writers
> including Linda Stupart, Sam Riviere, Keston Sutherland, Ben Lerner,
> Caroline Bergvall, Erica Scourti, David Peace and the internet
> novelists, and drawing on theories of error, shock, glitch, critical
> posthumanism and code, Jones lays the groundwork for writing that can
> productively engage in the new situation for literature in the context
> of AI, the Anthropocene and the post-digital age. His book articulates
> the working of error in literary and media practice at the horizon of
> human and machine language.
>
> /Glitch Poetics/resists technofuturism, reinventing errancy as a
> necessary aesthetic value of (and crucially against) our time.

> So, body-machinic posthuman reader, consider the shock to your system(s)
> when a glitch-error interrupts the coding-decoding mechanisms that
> govern your operations. Disruption to the textual condition occurs as
> voice misrecognition and cycles of translation malform and corrupt the
> poetics of authorial production. The desire for ideological resistance
> may or may not be short-circuited by the predictive algorithm manifest
> in remediating performance and its disruption of literary habits. The
> old attachment to tactical intervention remains, an aspiration still
> making its way through the charged circuits of culture, looking for a
> way to break down the rule-governed barriers between aspiration and
> effective agency. The pathetic subroutines, often destined to crash,
> derive from provisional looping of interference patterns that constantly
> reorder our codified reality. In /Glitch Poetics/ Jones selects vivid
> examples of the ways the glitch can be used deliberately to produce an
> uncomfortable intervention in the current conditions of posthuman
> capitalist culture. Or can it? Read and decide, based on your own
> bodily-machinic receptivity to ‘technological timings’ and ‘leaky
> intrusions’ across the ‘creepy porousness’ of your boundaries.
