Literary notes about NETWORK (AI summary)
The term “network” appears in literature with a rich variety of connotations, ranging from the literal interconnection of computer systems to metaphorical images of complexity and interwoven structure. In contemporary cyber-fiction, such as in Cory Doctorow’s works, “network” frequently refers to wireless or layered digital systems that facilitate communication and resistance ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5]). Meanwhile, historical and poetic texts deploy the term to evoke intricate natural or urban linkages, for instance, describing vast networks of electricity or a tangled web of streets and branches ([6], [7], [8], [9], [10]). Additionally, “network” is used to denote organized groups or systems, whether in the context of academic consortia, grassroots movements, or even blood vessels in the human body ([11], [12], [13], [14]). This multiplicity underscores how the word bridges technical modernity and classical imagery, inviting readers to consider both the overt and subtle connections that shape our world.
