- This comprehensive monograph is the result of ten years’ worth of research, starting with a module Groes taught from 2003-05. Groes read over 300 primary texts from the sixties, including out-of-print work by Eva Tucker. Groes devoted extensive periods (including a six-month sabbatical) in the British Library to undertake archival research into the reception of fiction in, for instance, the Times Literary Supplement. By connecting the ‘revolutions of the mind’ in the sixties with the digital revolution – for which Groes read works on, amongst others, posthumanism, the book provides a critical commentary on our culture that spans fifty years.
