My latest book chapter, “Sleep Mode: Phones, Achievement-Subjects and the Sleep Crisis in Contemporary Literature”, has been published in Telepoetics: Writing the Phone in Literature, Culture and Theory (Edinburgh University Press, 2026), edited by Sarah Jackson, Philip Leonard, and Annabel Williams.
In the chapter, I trace the presence of phones in a selection of contemporary literary texts featuring troubled sleepers and offer a framework to understand the pervasive cultural representations of contemporary society as suffering from poor sleep. The book is open access and you can read it here.
