[单项选择]Forget what Virginia Woolf said about what a writer needs--a room of one’s own. The writer she has in mind wasn’t at work on a novel in cyberspaee, one with multiple hypertexts, animated graphics and downloads of trance, charming music. For that you also need graphic interfaces, Real Player and maybe even a computer laboratory at Brown University. That was where Mark Amerika--his legally adopted name; don’t ask him about his birth name--composed much of his novel Gramatron. But Grammatron isn’t just a story. It’s an online narrative (gramatron. com) that uses the capabilities of cyberspace to tie the conventional story line into complicated knots.
