Fractals suggest recursivity, infinity, and the repetition of a
principle of order. They are digital pictures of the universe's
continuous movement ignored by mankind during millennia. This book
investigates the relationship between geometries and technology and how
it guides cognitive processes and therefore the organization of
narrative spaces. German A. Duarte proposes a new approach to the study
of media, arguing that from Bacon's camera obscura to von Neumann's
computers, both geometries and technology strongly influenced the
organization of narrative spaces, which acquired a fractal character.
